Can this blade be used to cut plexiglass

This is one of the best blades that I have used in 25 years. I typically cut oak, walnut, cherry and hard maple and it performs just wonderful. I am sure it will do good for you. ...woody....

Cynthia ... This blade isn't designed for plexiglas ... Diablo has a blade that is, check out diablotools.com

Yes it can. The more teeth the blade has, (80 or more) the smoother the cut on acrylic and plexiglas.

Cynthia, Yes this blade can cut plex, but a 40T or 50T is better. Also the plex you are cutting should be more than 1/8" thick. Just remember to allow the blade to do the cutting and move the plex slowly, to avoid splintering. And I am going to assume you are using a table saw. The reason a coarser tooth blade is better because there will be less build up of plex as you are cutting and also remember the blade will get hot when cutting and will melt the plex a small amount and will refuse together after the blade passes through, but is easy to snap off afterwards.J.M.

I am probably not the person to ask. I used it on plexiglass. I don't know a reason why it would.not work on smooth wood....

In order to effectively cut sheet plastics and laminates, you first must score them. That's where this cutter comes in handy. Use it to score the material so you're assured a clean break. Use the cutter on plastics, lighted ceiling tiles, laminates and plexiglass.Use in commercial and construction applications. Scores plastic, laminate and plexiglass.

Never used it for that. Used it on plexiglass only and it works great for that.

I am not sure on plexiglass as i used it on normal glass. And I am very satisfied with its result on glass windows.

I do believe it would as I have cut 4 Britol Board prints at one time with no problem. Blade is exremely sharp and is not one of your typical paper cutters found in schools. Eric Lucero

i would not suggest that. you could crack the plastic or even distort the cutting blades. my guess is that the blades are tempered.

Yes.. The only thing you may want to do is buy a different blade, something more suitable for laminate wood. The saw itself would work perfectly though. We use it for cutting everything from sheets of plywood for home improvement projects to piping to redo our water lines.

Yes. I use it for cutting tissue paper, ribbon, and even shrink wrap. Does great.

The most precise way to cut Acrylic/Plexiglass is with the Jim Byrne's Precision Table Saw. I have it. I use the 36 tooth Carbide blade and get absolutely perfect cuts with it. No chatter, cracks or anything, just a smooth perfect cut every time, and absolutely square. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried that yet...I suppose a thicker piece might fare better than a thinner piece, but for some reason I doubt it. Thinking of how it works, the blades, etc. leads me to this theory. If I ever get a scrap piece of plexi glass I will give it a try and post the results.

It's an expensive blade to use for regular wood cuts, but is excellent for very fine cuts on thin veneers. I have used it for mixed materials such as window shades with plastic and aluminum also.

Yes. That's what I've been using it for. Be sure to watch the gauge of the metal you are cutting versus the maximum gauge that the cutter is rated for.

sure you can cut it but be sure to use a mask as the small plastic particles or fiberglass if it really old could cause you a problem

I don't see why not. It cuts everything else. It does not have "teeth" on the saw blades so it wouldn't rip the plastic. I think it would work fine for this application but I have never tried it.

I never looked for that kind of blade for it. The company is very helpful. The string is very thick and we have had no problems cutting through what we needed. You do not want to get close to any siding or metal it will cut holes into this stuff

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.
