don't try to cut it. break it by running a screwdriver through it.
is there a best or easiest way to do this?

thank you very much!
use tile cutters or wire cutters to make the original footprint that you need. Then use pliers to trim the garbage off of it.

you would think with a degree and professional career i could actually spell words correctly. sory.
If you have one, table saw with fine tooth blade, 80 + teeth is the way to go , that will give you a really nice and clean cut.

that's great way, i've done that before. but if the eggcrate is not in a place of show, i bet i'll be done with my screwdriver before you finish setting up your saw.lolOriginally Posted by NeO
a dremel with a cutting wheel should work well too

:is that any faster and more devastating than a laser bone cutter?Originally Posted by Bernie
well, me & the screwdriver didn't do too well together....i have a table saw, maybe i'll try that
hold the eggcrate vertical. stick the screwdriver through the square, hold each end of the screwdriver with each hand. drag or push the screwdriver in the direction you want to go with force. you are trying to drive the shaft of the screwdriver through each little individual crate. picture a karate chop through a stack of boards.
Tin snips worked really well for me too.
dreams, how did your eggcrate cutting go? curious to whether you ended up buying a plasma torch or decide to do monster garage.
LMAO!....well, it went perfect....i went back & tried it again, your way and it turned out perfect....there is a pic my my journal thread
(btw, if you knew me, you would know that your comment is dead-on....lol)
