Anyone familiar with plexigalss cutting? Typically the sheets come in .08
or .10 for most applications like picture frames, replacement panes etc.
I'm not sure what they are measured in as .08 is just about 1/6" or a
little less than 3mm. I have had some success with a utility
knife...scoring along a straight edge and then snapping the plexiglass,
but that is not very clean. I have previously tried using my table saw,
but I must have used a blade that was to course as the plexi chipped no
matter how slow I fed it. I know of the old trick of turning the blade
backwards and basically burning the piece. How do you all do it? Any
good pointers?
Cheers!
