Question About Pickguards
I recently bought some pickguard material from Stew-Mac. 3 ply (bwb) laminate. I'm wondering what kind of tools you guys use to cut and shape them. I've cut a few pickguards out of plexiglass on my bandsaw, they turned out okay but I've never dealt with this type of material before and I think the bandsaw would melt it rather than cut it. Also, I'm not that great with the bandsaw, to be fair the bandsaw itself is pretty flimsy. The blade never seems to stay on the line, even with little stuff.
Anyways, If anyone has any tips or tricks to working pickguard material, especially how to get that nice angle all the way around the edges, please feel free to share, or direct me to a thread that discusses this topic in detail, as I am sure there is one in this forum :)
