best way to cut 1/8" lexan sheet.
rdowdy95:
I have a 1/8" thick lexan sheet going to be used for the Marquee. It is about an inch too big in height. Maybe an inch and a hlf. Anyways should I just score it real good with an exacto knife or a box cutter. What do you guys recommend? I figure get a straight edge clamped down to it and just start cutting?

Your flush trim router bit will go right through it... butta
fatfingers:
I agree that is the best method, but you should probably cover the lexan with something else before running your router over it.
ChadTower:
Sandwich it between two pieces of wood, like 1/4" plywood, and cut it that way.
