cutting Plexiglas, so easy anyone can do it

all you need is a hobby knife, or utility knife. clamp down firmly, with a straight edge on top to guide your cut. first pass to cut the plastic coating, then press a bit harder on each pass. 10 to 15 passes and press down on the Plexiglas firmly. till it breaks apart.

Great tutorial direct and to the point not 15 min of blah blah thanks.

man thanks for this, using a jig saw and possibly having Parkinson's, is tough. this will save the day.

Tip: if you have a local glass shop buy plexiglass from them and they will cut it for you and you're supporting a local business.

hey thank you so much we are doing kids project and did not want to drag out dad's whole tool barn to find some gadget or big saw. Thank you for making it simple for us

And what works better, for this, is the tool Made for this.
The Red Devil Acrylic Sheet Cutter. The Right tool.
Acrylic sheet is not made to be cut with knife or saw.
It must be scored and snapped off.

Thanks Sparky. I watched a video showing a acrylic cutter but Reviews on Home Depot had %50 1☆s so I searched again and found your video.

Now that was a snap! Okay, well some pun intended. I didn't know about that Sparky. I thought you had to carefully use a jigsaw and a fine toothed blade. Thanks for the tip. Cheers, Dan

It gets harder as the cut gets longer. It is tough to snap straight when the cut is 3 feet (0.9 meters) long.

I wish I knew this trick before spending 20 minutes slowly cutting mine with a saw...

[johnsont]

great tip, you use the same method for cutting laminate.

[ljwilliams]

Thank you for presenting an option that doesn't empty my savings bank. Would this work with 1/4" thick plexiglass?

[aztraingranny]

Peasie easy. And I don't see any blood! Wow!
