Re: cuting plexi

Other than the table saw type stuff, we use a dremel with a spiral cutting bit (actually a Roto-Zip bit), with a straight-edge clamped to the material as a guide. Works very well.

BTW, don't inhale the fumes! Ventilate!

Cheers,
-Neil.

Red face Re: cuting plexi

We always use polycarbonate and always use our bansaw when cutting it. Anything else is much more of a pain the only thing are the little shreds that you have to deal with but if you make sure to keep your mouth closed and of course your safety glasses on (probably semi-long sleeves too) and you should be fine. You grow used to it. Good luck.
