Re: Cutting Lexan
For long straight cuts (like you might need a table saw for), my team has found that it is often easier to snap lexan then to cut it. By using a straight edge and a knife, you can score the lexan, then snap it at the edge of a table, or something else with a sharp corner. For teams with less resources or who don't want students using power tools as often, this is a really simple and effective method, if you're careful when you score it.
For smaller cuts, or curves, we just use our upright band saw, but I've seen teams have a lot of success with a router.
