I bought a sheet of 48x24" plexiglass at home depot (maybe about 1/8"
thick).

I am trying to cut in 7" slices (each 48" long).
Per the instructions from the Home Depot guy, I bought a blade that is
supposed to score the Plexiglass and then you snap it.

Well, I am having 2 problems.
First, I am finding it hard to score precisely on a straight line
(even though I am following a steel straight edge). The blade keeps
wanting to slip away slightly.

Second, after scoring with several passes, when I snap it, it ends up
breaking only partially along the line (and the rest breaks away at a
short angle).

One solution, would be to just be more careful on scoring the line and
then scoring even deeper with more multiple passes.

Are there any EASIER and MORE accurate ways to cut plexiglass?
Can I use a regular table saw blade (or will it shatter it)?
What about a jigsaw or a dremel?

Thanks

Should have bought the plexi at a local glass company and had them cut
into whatever sizes you needed.... Ive done that before just for my own
convienience... just have to call them with the dimensions and pick
up... ~:
