Re: cuting plexi
My Favorite way to cut plexiglass is with a table saw. I've done it with a vertical bandsaw and a guide to keep it straight but the plexiglass may crack if it gets too jumpy.
As for Lexan (Polycarb), a Table Saw is still best for Straight cuts and I Like a vertical band saw the best for any kind of a technical cut.
If you're in a pinch and you need to cut Lexan (polycarb) you can use a Circular Saw. I'd only cut this way as a last resort because it gets pretty dangerous.
