📋 Step-by-Step Process:
1️⃣ Mark Your Cut Line: Use a pencil and ruler for precise measurements and straight lines.
2️⃣ Secure the Panel: Clamp the panel to your workbench to keep it steady.
3️⃣ Choose the Right Tool:
For straight cuts, use a circular saw.
For curves or shapes, opt for a jigsaw or router.
For quick straight-line cuts, score with a utility knife and snap the panel along the line.
4️⃣ Cut Carefully: Go slow and steady to avoid chipping the panel or damaging the finish.
5️⃣ Smooth the Edges: Use sandpaper or a file to give the edges a clean finish.
