Plastic is cut, read here for my top tips ;)

Maybe that was for acrylic?
I found the blunter blade cut the poly in chunks which suggested it was not a smooth operation, whereas using the sharp bit produced a lovely long line of poly like what you'd get from peeling an apple in one go.
Either way, cutting and drilling poly is no more difficult than wood and the jigsaw went through it like butter.

Spot on. Polycarb is a lot softer than acrylic and the swarf bends away from the cut material unlike acrylic where it breaks

Here's it in the cp, copied from another thread. If I can cut it, anyone can :)
