Picked up a large sheet of thin (.08) acrylic plastic. Would like to cut out pieces to use as see-thru ship bases. Any tips on how to cut neatly pieces of acrylic? Can one score and snap or will that leave messy edges? Your idea ware welcome, thanks. Dan

Laser cutting is best, of course, but the above will work.

When I ran a warehouse for a sign company wholesaler we had lots of acrylic sheets. They were all cut with a fine toothed table or skill saw.

Hook ended Stanley knife blade. Removes the material from the cut.
