Read More »Very thin basswood can be cut with an x-acto knife, though it is difficult. But if the basswood is thick enough that you can't easily flex it, you'll need power tools. A table saw or circular saw would probably be best, if you're making straight cuts.
Up to 1/8" Basswood can be treated the same way you'd cut 3/16" or 1/4" Balsa. Instesd of a #11 in a #1 knive handle, you go up to a #2 or #5 Handle with a SHARPENED and STROPPED #2 or #24 blade. Some folks use single edge razor blades on the thicker stuff or scaples have also proven to work very well on thick tough materials.Orporg if your having trouble cutting Basswood your going to hate Lite Plywood, where your fighting cross grain cutting regardless of the direction of your cuts as well as at least two layer of dried waterproof glue. It can still be done with a blade but your gonna have to bulk up a bit firstAs with any woodworking tool, to work well your knifes Must be sharp to work properly and with the least amount of worker fatigueLet the knife blade do the work, apply firm but not too much down pressure on the blade as you draw it along your straight edge. This is very ture on all Cross Grain cuts. Make a series of passes instead of trying to muscle your way thru with a single pass or two.With a little practice you'll be making nice clean straight cuts even on the cross grain passesMy Scroll saw, band saw and razor saws are reserved for Heavy materials, 1/4" and thicker, plastics and metals. for Model and LMR's fins and such you not need no stinkin sawsHope this helps.
