[Shop-talk] Offset handle cutting tools

[Thomas Coradeschi]

John - that is exactly what I need to do (except that my rigid foam is vertical, not horizontal)! If the angled window scraper idea doesn’t pan out, this will def be the next step.

It cleans up nicely with a single edge razor blade, but my knuckles will be a bloody mess (there is a total of about 150’ of perimeter) if I can’t find a way to trim flush with something other than the standard blade holder.
