    1. You can use a scroll saw with fair success. I don't know if this application can be CNC'd with a scroll saw as you need a spiral type bit and I don't know if such a bit is available with a fine enough tooth to cut well.

    2. Other options for cutting this material. a hot wire, similar to used on foam cutters. Maybe someone with one of these machines could test this out.

    I think a water jet or laser would cut this material, but you would be into a commercial application, not a DIY job.

    This is very much outside the box thinking when compared to a CNC router, but I am 99% sure it would work. It might be too time and cost prohibitive to develop however. Especially when you mentioned that you didn't have much time available for experimentation.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for taking the time to screw around with it. Seems like you had similar results. I wonder how a blade with an abrasive coating vs teeth would work. I will monkey around some more this weekend.

    Shops or suppliers selling coroplast sheets will solve the problem of size perfectly. https://corrugatedplasticsheet.net/m...plastic-signs/
