Re: cuting plexi

Just use a jig saw and stay proud of your final cut line. Then use a hand held router with a bottom mounted bearing and clamp the plexi/polycarb to a straight edged countertop and trim it to final size. This easily works up to 1/2 inch thick if your router bit is large enough in diameter. We do this all day at work.
