[lindlesandlogos]

super helpful video, the music felt weird and like it didnt fit with the video lol. otherwise great video!

from a comparison video on the plexi vs metal blade, it's probably better to use the metal blade. you'll get less of a burnt edge.

Thanks for sharing this video and information

Good Video got what i needed and the music is fine LOL mute it if you dont like the music. I would much rather hear the music over the sound of the jigsaw.

So glad I have found your video. Thank you.
Question: have you ever smoothed the edges with a torch?

[stonednyc]

Is there another way without needing a piece of wood? Also what if i need to cut a window in the middlem

As a new homeowner, my wife and I want to skin our lanai's screened wall with acrylic panels. I watched your video to learn how to work with acrylic. Do you think drilling multiple screw holes along the edges of the panels would allow the panels to be held up with screws to the aluminum frame? We even thought we would use double-sided Flex tape between the aluminum beams and screw holes to create a softer contact and some gasket effect (hope I used that word correctly). We keep watching videos to get a sense of how much acrylic can take in stress--hanging from screw holes, or what will stick to them. If you have an opinion, thanks in advance for sharing.

Do you need to cut with wood attached as well ?

[landas]

Is the wood stopping it from fusing back together?

[grady]

Is there some important reason for that background "music?"

[genericdude]

What is that tool you used to cut the plexiglass?

[anastasiaantonova]

Is there a way to cut plexiglass shapes in the middle? Like if i wanted to cut a square in the center of the sheet?

Can you cut a circle shape with this jigsaw tool? Circle Diameter is 75 mm.

[goatlps]

Is that 3mm or 4mm. I am wondering how floppy 120cm/4ft (x50cm) would be as I want it to be cheap and light as possible to make a #gerbilarium. Although I would need 4 50cm L-shaped metal corner uprights to slot each panel into, and I doubt they exist.

Goosh the vid was def what i was looking for but the music was creeping me out lol

[jimmiller]

Sorry this is NOT a good way to do this so let me explain why …….. First of all the bottom shoe of the jig saw will have a tendency to scratch the plexi so at least tape it . You are better to tape around your design and then cut it. Mix a solution of Dawn dish soap and water and spray the area to lubricate is and keep the heat down and lastly, cut a little and back off then a little more and back off to keep the heat down. One last tip, title your video “ Five minute tutorial “.
That’s all folks !

Was it possible to find worse back ground noise?

[goodlife]

Why is this "one minute tutorial" almost five minutes long?

[goatlps]

I paused the video after 4:43 - I see why the video quickly ends with no close-up LOL.
