    ABS plastic

    anyone every worked with it? i have a chance to buy some for cheap and would like to make some display cages out of it but not sure how hard it is to work with. a friend of mine buils PVC cages and said it is difficult to cut. i don't have a table saw but i do have a circular saw so im not sure what way to go. i could always use it to make a wood/abs rack.

    advice anyone!!

    If I could get my hands on some ABS really cheap, I would. Everybody and his brother has a table saw. It shouldn't be too hard to locate someone that would let you come over and cut some pieces.

    derek,

    no he used expanded PVC. this stuff is different.

    Dale,

    my buddy who builds PVC cages has all the equipment for building cages. he said ABS is hard to work with. i was trying to see if anyone else has worked with this stuff and would have any tips for cutting ect.
