Ken,

Suppose one needs to remove 1/2 inch of acrylic from a 2x1 inch (in cross
section) block. The goal is to end up with roughly the following:

Maybe a dado blade on a table saw?

That would work, assuming the plastic can take it?? I'd want one hell of
a jig though.

Rather than using a dado on a table saw, I'd use just a very sharp HSS or
carbide rip blade and make one cut that doesn't go all the way thru, then
flip the part 90 degrees and repeat. Use a block of wood to push the whole
thing all the way thru and past the blade.
