Lexan shatter? Unless you freeze it, it's less likely to shatter than the
piece of oak you're cutting on the sled you built.


Really? Oak must be pretty shatter prone, because I have seen many of peices
of Lexan or acrylic sheeting shatter. I tried to cut a peice with a CMS
once, wasn't pretty.....



Really, lexan (polycarbonate) is very different from plexiglass
(acrylic) in how it reacts to stress & strain. Plexiglass will shatter
quite easily but lexan usually deforms. You can actually bend the
thinner stuff in a sheet metal brake.
