Acrylic cuts great.  Just remember to leave the protective film on it till you are finished cutting.  Also it's essential to use packaging tape over it to keep it from fusing back together in the kerf line. 

 

Have fun.

GayleM recently posted a pic of crisply cut 1/8" acrylic ornaments that were cut as a sandwich: one BB in the bottom, 2 acrylic and one BB on the top - so there were 4 layers of 1/8 ".  

 

She used a #5 mod geo Pegas blade. 

 

Her other comments: "The BB on top and bottom held the acrylic dust which usually floats about and sticks to everything with static electricity. This time it ended up on the floor with the sawdust. That is the reason I put it in the middle of the sandwich instead of the outside - and it worked. It seemed to make the cutting much easier - that is - it was a cinch to stay right on the line."

 

Thanks for the pointers working with acrylic, needed them!

 

Cutting large pieces to workable pieces for say ornaments, you need a fine tooth sawbade on your table saw, keep the blade to just about 1/16 of an inch above the sheet and to wear long sleeves, the shavings that come off while cutting are very hot. Then I would try a #5 blade the finer tooth blades just melt the plexi so that it fuses the pieces back together as you cut , good luck Howard
