    A router with a fence (slow speed) to cut with, and a belt or block sander to tidy up with with.

    so you wanna cut thru the screen or fairing? or both? you can first put masking tape over the areas to cut and carfully use a jig saw or remove and use a band saw
    the sand off and buff clear screen

    plastic fabricator/welder here if you need a hand ! will work for beer/bourbon/booze

    What tools do you have? I used a laminate trimmer on part of my fairing - it does a beautiful job, but due to spinning at 257,000,000 rpm, the gyroscopic effect makes moving it tricky.
    [There's a story somewhere of what happened to me when I had a brilliant idea of using it in an inappropriate way, but that's another story....]
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
