A jigsaw won't leave a very good edge. It had a tendency to tear the edge rather than cut it. A table saw left a fine edge for the straight cuts, as did a router. A bandsaw also likely would be more like the table saw rather than the jigsaw. Waterjet or laser cutting it are options, but most people don't have those types of machines lying around.

The minimum bending radius is 15 times the thickness. For a smaller radius, it needs to be scored with a v-grove on the interior of the bend. No you're not going to build a CNC milling center with dibond as the primary structural support. But for something like the Mendel90 it makes a great material. Just as good if not better than any other material I could think of using. The only downside is that you can't find it at your local hardware store. But most decent sign shops should have it or be able to get it. That's where I found my source, it was a cutoff from a larger sign and they charged about a $1 a square foot. Name another substance that's as light, as strong, and as cheap...Quote

ok, i may give it another shot...
we have a 20 ton brake press and made be able to press into profiles, like angles and stuff like that...
that would make it really strong
