Hi guys,
I have an older suction cup phone holder for my iphone and would like to screw this onto a free space in my dashboard. To make this work I would need to cut the main body of the holder in half. This piece is hard plastic.
Now back in Germany I would know what kind of tradesman to talk to for this. Best would be probably a hot wire or someone who can cut plastic and protect himself from the dust.
What would I google/look for in Australia for a shop/tradesman that could do this for me? I am in
Cairns and not a clue who I could ask to cut this piece in two for me.
Cheers
Philipp

Hi Philipp, Phone these guys on 07 4054 7488. FNQ Plastics.
If they cannot do it, I'm sure that they will refer you to someone who can.

Just take it to any mechanical type place like auto mechanic/electrical, commercial electrician/refrigeration or even a carpenter.
One of these would have a saw with a blade to suit.
It's good your thinking safety but I think you over exaggerating the danger and skills involved......... we use anything from a friction disc to a jigsaw to a hacksaw for this type of work.
