last hole and the blade caught... cracked the edge!

bah.... i make the blade move a little faster next time. but no melting occured... used a fine metal blade
I used a jig same and took my time, I used a hole saw for circles and took my time . You can also score the sheet with a plastics knife but that takes as long as cutting with a jigsaw. But like said before it REALLY likes to vibrate
