Just so you know you should really cut deeper than 1/16". with 1/16" cut myself and other students on our team have found that it is still extermely hard to break the lexan (plus sometimes it doesn't break on the line exactly and you could end with a jagged side) I would recommend going atleast half the distance if not more when cutting it with the knife.
