Re: cuting plexi

I've found that using a dremmel with a high speed plastic cutting bit works really well, as long as you have a steady hand.

it's also nice since it lets you carve complex shapes.

be careful though, the fragments sent off from the dremmel are EXTREMELY HOT, and if you aren't careful, your arms get covered in little red dots from the burning plastic.

also, WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, they will save your eyes.
