Looking for a tool that can circles in plastic styrene about 0.5-0.1mm sheets. Needs to be able to cut a maximum of 25cm (8.6") diameter circles. I’ve seen a couple on amazon but they kind of look fragile. Any ideas for ones that really work?
Honestly what you need is a scroll saw.
I had the same problem when I wanted to made “prop disks” for my AC-130J and EP-3E. My clear acrylic sheets were 1mm thick and everything I searched just didn’t seem like it would work. I made a jig with a pin in the middle so I could spin the disks on my benchtop scroll saw. I cut them slightly oversized then sanded their edges down until I had the proper diameter. All in all I think they came out very convincing.
