Default Plexiglass

I use a table saw with a fine toothed blade and slow careful feed. Make sure
the edge where the cut is going to be is flat with the saw top so the saw
top can support the Plexiglas where it is being cut. leaving the protective
film on until finished is a very good idea or protect with tape and use tape
to reinforce where you are cutting(cut through the tape both sides).

The reversed blade. Often recommended, never works.

That's the way to go. Get this tool specifically made to cut plastic,
about $5. You can cut plexi on a tablesaw with a turned-around blade,
but it is nasty without a LOT of ventilation.
