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 ?

I cut two sides of a piece a few months ago, for a window pane.
Used a straight edge to score it with a plexiglass knife.
Had to score it pretty deeply, but it cracked off cleanly.
