Need a clear edge with plexiglas? Try heating the edge carefully.......you
don't want to scorch it. Either a torch or heat gun will do the trick. Get
it smooth as you can with your tools, get all splinters off of it and heat
it. With a little practice it will look as clear as the plexiglas ends and
fronts on the refrigerated cases in the grocery store. :-) Hold your heat
away from the sheet and sneak up on it till it clears up, then get the heat
away before the plastic bubbles.
Good luck Lyndell

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.
