Let's say I have some coroplast that is 18" tall x 24" wide and i need to cut them down to 9" tall x 12" wide. What's the best way to cut it? Table saw? Bandsaw? Is there a special type of "guillotine" cutter out there?

Plast-Kut tool works well for cutting along the flutes of fluted plastic sheet. This tool can be used to cut just halfway or all the way through fluted plastic sheet.

I use a tool similar to the Plasti-Kut for along the flutes and then I just pull out the exacto knife and a 36" metal ruler to make the other cuts.

Let me know if you find an easier way!!

a big a** table saw, or a straight edge clamped down with either a skill saw or large utility knife is how we do it.

For really crazy shapes, and for some other work, a spiral saw has been the best tool for us by far.

Some even have premade tables for them, we've made our own 'table saw' type jig to hold the spiral saw (bosch rotozip, dremel something or other, you get the idea).

I don't remember what they say the blades we bought are for, but they've got way more ridges than the normal ones.

It takes a little experimenting to not melt or fray the edges, but once your speed is set it's fast, easy, and accurate with a jig (they have a nice circle cutter and such included in most kits too)
