What adhesive would be best to fasten Plexiglas (acylic) to
plywood?(Baltic Birch)
I'm thinking epoxy but I'd have to go buy it so...anything else?

Screws.

What's the application, specifically?


I am making a dust "shroud", "blade enclosure", whatever the appropriate
terminology might be to describe a device to collect dust over a table
saw blade.
I'm making the sides out of Birch ply and the top out of 1/4" acrylic.

NO!!

Don't use acrylic for this application, it's not impact-resistant. Use polycarbonate instead.

And why make the sides out of wood? Why not make the whole thing out of polycarbonate?


Since this project is a "prototype" I will very likely build a Lexan
model. I'm primarily interested in determining how well the device
collects dust from the table top and establishing a method of mounting
the rest of the "system". I will have photos when I try it out.
