Anyone know how to cut perspex?

[Diyisfun]

Perspex, to cut---use a stanly hook blade (lino type blade), score along & snap down, if its onlt 1 or 2mm thick 5mm score 3 or 4 times.
Or a circular saw or jig saw, cur tons of the stuff when I was working in a model shop (no not toy shop)

I worked in the sign trade for some time and we cut all types and thiknesses of Perspex on a circular saw table with a fine tooth t/tipped blade running at quite a fast speed but you will need to feed the thinner stuff in gently
Jigsaws work ok to a point but they tend to melt the edges back together and don’t give a good finish
A skill saw will be ok with the right blade but keep it supported
I have never tried the angle grinder but sounds a good idea
