Default Tool needed to cut acrylic
Was wondering if anyone going to the swap has a tool to cut acrylic. I have this acrylic frag rack 13" x 3.5" that was made with a back wall with two drilled holes for suction cups to hold the frag rack up. Instead of using the suction cups i attached the bottom of the rack to a magna float. I am looking to cut the back piece off the rack so i can view frags from all sides.

How thick is the acrylic?

Bring it with you, I'll figure out a way to cut it.

Scoring and breaking small pieces is pretty hard, we'll probably just cut it with a cutoff wheel and sand the edges smooth.
