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.

Keep us abreast of your findings! I have an old Craftsman tablesaw with
a blade-shroud, but no suction. I think it is acrylic, but am not sure.
Finding a really good way to add suction there would be good ...
