Cutting clear acrylic sheet
Cutting clear acrylic sheet
(OP)
I need to do machining work on a large display stand made of 25mm clear acrylic (PMMA) sheet. I am finding it difficult to get information on cutting with hand circular saws, routers and reciprocating saws. Specifically tooth forms, cutting speed and use of coolant or any other useful advice.
Any pointers welcome.
Many thamks.

Decide if you want a smooth surface or a slightly rough surface for gluing.
I have the equipment to do it and have done it but I still take my work to a pro shop.

For coolant, if needed, I hate the smell, but nothing works better than kerosene.
