Would it be reasonable to cut grommet holes in this? I have the necessary hole saws and such, but different materials react differently to being cut&acirc;&#128;&brvbar;

yes it will cut -- I simply used a very good pair of scissors to cut it to the shape I needed - also cut a grommet hole for computer cables -- first drilled a hole in the middle of the circle I needed and then cut out from there

I would if it would be appropriate. The cut is very fine and the edges are smooth. However, this is a free hand saw and not a guided miter saw, so the angles are not precise.Woody

I didn't. Cut mine, but I've seen others on here that have said it could be cut to fit fairly easily. It's pretty thick so it could take some time and talent, but it would definitely be manageable.

Yup its very easy to cut. There should be a grommet at a around 40 feet. So no problem.

I think you would be better off with your own guide from plywood. Just check out saw guide on You Tube. I am sorry I bought this , as I did go back to my plywood guide. The kregg guide is just to flimsy and not accurate, slips out of line with your cut.

I'd say the grommets are about every 3 feet or so. And IMO it can't be cut without it coming apart. It is a weave.

good evening dont look too much, it is much more simple and will cost less to use a jig saw! the hole dont have to be so accurate and the plate will cover if it is not perfect cut thanks Avi Depot.

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

They arent really intended to be cut - they snap together. However , Id imagine a hack saw / sawsall would cut it just fine.

I used 1 1/4" It was a good tight fit and there appeared to be plenty of room left over for a larger hole. Make sure to buy a drill bit and hole saw that is appropriate for the material you're cutting through as well as make sure the surface you're drilling through is sturdy enough to handle it.

Sir! I used this little machine in solid pine and 1/4" plywood where the cut quality did not matter. Seems to be cutting ok., but you might need to change the blade to get better cut, such as more tooth on the blade.

There are grommets on the bottom. I suggest that it is not suitable material to cut. Retailers with outdoor areas use material like this on cyclone fencing and they do not cut it. You can wrap it and adapt it anywhere on a cyclone fence. Hopefully I have helped.

The punch has plenty of strength. The real question should be "does the grommet have the strength to cut through the leather. I'd say, if it's one layer, 95% probable. If it multiple, 75%. To test it, up a piece of the Work on a cement floor and use a hand grommet set to test your needs. If that works ok, your in like Flinn.

Remember, it's designed to merely join two parts at a 90-degree angle. I think the problem would lie with the inside corner with mitered joints. But as long as your cuts are square (and the material fits), all should go well.

I have drilled holes into it successfully (also got it for a project, rather than its intended purpose). It is heavy duty plastic, probably a quarter inch or more thick, so while a good power saw of some form with a sharp blade could likely cut it, if you are using a hand saw or a dremel you will be at it a while

Yes and no! The pieces of wood are held on with screws through a plastic matrix. There are extra holes in the matrix but they don't always line up with the cut pieces of wood. Takes a bit of thinking. I used a table saw, after I put the screws in the needed positions. it's a moderately difficult task cutting and fitting. Mine came out great, after some engineering and work. You'll love it when it's done.

yeah I'm sure you could cut it with a good jigsaw, fine tooth wood cutting blade. I just used wood drill bits to put holes in it. You might want to do a little at a time, so that the blade doesn't heat up and melt the cutting board. It also could make it a little flimsy, I think. depending on the hole size. Cool idear.
