1:20 The trick is to use a variable speed jigsaw. If you don't have that, you've got to keep the feed rate very high to avoid melting. I've seen liquid hand soap recommended as a lubricant/coolant, but I haven't tried that yet myself

Great video.. Is plexiglass hazardous when cutting? I would wear mask and eye protection but was wondering if this was more dangerous than just cutting wood.

Was this 1/8" plexi?

that's extruded acrylic it actually is harder to work with than cast. look for the one with the brown paper on it, that's ideal.

I've worked with cast before, it's a right pain, never again! 😂
