Great tip. Also wear goggles. I got nailed in the eyeball with some molten plexi once. When I closed my eye quickly, the plastic hardened and seald my eye shut! It hurt like hell and I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room but I peeled it off of my eyelids (losing a few eyelashes) and ended up with some minor redness and itching for a few days. Could have been much worse. Debbie Downer signing off.... ;D

Sorry to hear that happened, although next time it does, make sure to snap a picture so we can use it as an example of what to try to prevent :P

Safety gear is really the first stuff one should invest in.

So it looks like the general concensus is NOT to try and cut 26"W marquee or CP with a pelxi cutting knife and snap it?

I have cracked probably 10 or more pieces of control panel plexi. The only way I have found to eliminate cracking is to use a router. The ludicrous-speed of the bit goes through it like butter, and doesn't give it a chance to catch and crack.
