Cutting Eggcrate

[Danno]

Well I am almost done with my tank hoods but I am making them so the top isn't wood, but instead, eggcrate. I was thinking of either the table saw or a bandsaw. I could always use a wrasp to make it smooth on the ends. What have you guys used to cut it?

I'm sure a hacksaw will do the job nicely

Good old jigsaw.

if you have one or have access to one, I've found a cutoff wheel on a die grinder works great..

Big bladed wire cutters...

If you want to trim an entire length of it there's a little trick. Stand the egg-crate on-end so that the edge you want to cut is vertical. Then take a butcher knife and literally drive the knife from top to bottom in a quick hard almoast hammer/axe like motion right along the seam you want to cut at. Takes a bit of practice but works GREAT

Thanks guys. The eggcrate is all cut for my canopy.
