    Carving bulletproof plexi

    I got my plexi order yesterday, 6 square feet of .375" What I didn't realize is just how thick and hard the thing is Any hints on how to go about cutting it?

    Plexiglass is acrylic and it cracks easily. Polycarbonate is what you want to use.

    You can cut it with a bandsaw, table saw, etc. Just use a blade for plastic.

    Treat it like glass/tiles. Score it down where you want to break then use a tile cutter.
