Anybody ever cut this ****, I need to replace a small window in my boat that I lost in high seas in key west, I've tried scoring it both sides and breaking it, no luck, tried hack saw, just cracks it, was thinking my dad's radial arm saw, but I dunno.

Yeah, you need a fine tooth blade on a table saw. Or, a jigsaw. Or both. Leave the paper on until after you cut it. Is it Plexi, or lexan or what?

It's the cheap plexi with the blue paper, but i am seriously thinking of getting the lexan, it looks a alot sturdier.



This is just wut i had liring around

table saw is fine. i used that stuff to make my pfc commander holder. used a table saw and it worked perfectly.

Scroll saw works ok, with fine teeth.

I've cut the heavy stuff (near 1/4" thick) with a hacksaw with good results. A fine blade on a table saw or a jigsaw should work fine also. The stuff smells when you cut it.

plasma cutter or chainsaw

Look in the yellow pages for any kind of plastic engineering. I just had them cut me eight 1/4" thick by 4 3/8" by 20 1/2" with 1/4" rounded corners for $25. I mean you can't beat the price and they do all the cutting for you, will even polish the edges if you like.

We used to use a grinder with a cutting wheel on it, that works really well.

a router is also a good tool to cut plexi

I think maybe I got shitty plexi glass, stuff is pretty flimsy, I am gonna buy some lexan and give that a whirl.

I use my hands!

Use the second to slowest speed setting on a jigsaw, using a bi-metal blade. Of course the bigger, square cuts can be done in the table saw.

If the edges are too rough you can use a router, files or block and sand to smooth it out, and you could also hit the edges lightly with a torch afterwords to give it the flame polished look.

ive had good luck with scoring it really heavily and bending

use your penis

yes, score it on both sides and only do one break line at a time when doing this... score it on both sides, pour a thin line of lighter fluid down the score line one one side... light it, it should burn off instantly unless you used too much... but at the same time it ignites, use your hand on the edge of one side away from the fire and bend it as it instantly burns off... i dunno, i can do it, had to do it for a few cars, but takes some know how or you could end up burning the plexi glass, but thats how the pros do it if thats what you wanna call them

I just cant picture guys lighting plexiglass on fire to cut it

i can picture guys lighting themselves on fire trying to cut plexiglass

i once burnt myself when some plexiglass I was cutting hit my arm
