Default Cutting plexiglass

I had a bear of a time cutting some plexiglass without cracking it.



It was 3/16 inch thick.



Using a very fine toothed sabre saw did not work.



I tried scoring it with a sheet rock knife.



I finally made some progress using a hack saw and going REAL slow.



Any tips ?

If the local hardware store cuts glass...most likely they will cut it for you.
On the thicker type (3/16 and 1/4) they score both sides and break it similar to glass. (I worked at a Tru-Valu)
