Cutting acrylic baffles

[Sharkey18]

What is the best thing to use to cut pieces of acrylic to use as sump baffles?

Table saw.

Lasers.

 

 

A dremel and/or router work well, just watch how hot the bit is - when it starts melting instead of cutting, take a break.

 

Same deal with a circular saw.

 

I used a hand-held wood saw, before I had a job and could afford electricity.

 

Regardless, clamp the acrylic securely - if using a router, clamp on a ruler/board to use as a guide.

 

 

I've never had good luck scoring and snapping, but it is an option if the acrylic is thin enough.
