Default Cutting Plexiglass (Perspex)

Any suggestions as to a good, safe approach to cutting the plastic?


Repeatedly score it with a suitable blade and snap it along a hard
strait edge. When I was using a lot of perspex I had a strait edge
made with a steel rule glued to a wooden board. Occasionally I needed
to use two boards clamped in a vice.
