Plastic / Acrylic Cutting?
I'm trying to find a company or person that can cut plastics (it's a bike screen) does anyone have any suggestions? I just need a couple of inches lopped off the top of a screen for the Pan. I'm based in SW Scotland, but I'm happy to post/courier it somewhere to get it done. * NB - Hacksaws / Chisels etc aren't an option!!

Hmmmm.... interesting idea (and I'm definately doing this!!) but not sure it'd make a good finish of an £80 screen...

Re: Plastic / Acrylic Cutting?
You could use the hotwire kit, and then sand it down go get the finish you want?
