Cutting acrylic

[you1]

So, I've read...

When cutting Acrylic using power skilsaw, table saw, etc, make sure the blade is:

* Triple-Chip tooth
* Carbide tipped
* Has Clearance angle 10-15 degrees
* Has Rake Angle 0-5 degrees

Figured someone may find it useful.

For what it's worth, I've found that when drilling acrylic with ordinary drill bits (there are special plastic ones) that a few drops of liquid dishsoap seem to work well in keeping the bit from binding or chipping.

Thanks! Both great tips as I make my next mini platen...
