I used to work at a place where we made all sorts of stuff out of acrylic and lexan. Things for the beauty shops (display cases) and casinos. We used a 80 tooth triple chip blade on the table saw, I have no idea where to find one (maybe it's called something else out of the plastics industry) if anyone knows I would love to get one. For finishing we used a torch with hydrogen and oxygen, it glosses up the raw edge to a nice finish. You should be able to use a propane torch, just practice on scrap first, all it takes is a well placed medium paced pass. For glueing it's a solvet, can't remember what but I could look it up if anyone has a need. You can use a router for cutting but you need to move quick, it took time to learn and only those who were proficent at the other jobs got an opputunity to use the router. <br /> <br />Sorry if this doesn't make sense, it' late and I really need sleep. I can clarify later if need be. Night all. <br /> <br /> <br />Chris
