0 Cutting a frying pan lid? Posted by Hip Bone Bellaire on April 24, 2014 at 6:59pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts Just thinking about cutting a lid for a Dobro cover plate.. I have a scroll saw but am worried about rough edge cuts and chipping.. You need to be a member of Cigar Box Nation to add comments! Join Cigar Box Nation Email me when people reply – Follow

WOW great ideas.. thanks this gives me a starting point...
A coping saw with a fine tooth metal cutting blade works well since the speed of cutting is slower than a scroll saw..
The blades cut better if you rub beeswax or Ivory bar soap on the teeth to act as a lubricant.
If your lid is aluminum you'll want to have a good stiff wire brush on hand to clean out the teeth periodically.
If you have a Dremel you can attach a cut off wheel to make your cut.
