Veinman:

Does Lexan go through a table saw fine?

Ergh.... I don't know, I've never seen anyone try that before. But I'm having visions of the Lexan shattering and sending razor-sharp shards flying through the air.

You may be able to pull it off with a blade that has extremely fine teeth on it, but I still wouldn't trust it on a table-saw.

I don't know about Lexan in a table saw.  I do know that they will cut fine with a BAND SAW.

I plastic monitor bezel, will however cut nicely with a table saw with an MDF backer.

Yes. Like butter.

High tooth count = better cut.

Zero clearance throat plate helps with support of thin sheets.

I strongly recommend carbide teeth for this, and a new or freshly sharpened blade is best.

They do make saw blades especially intended for use with Acrylic/lexan etc.
