could i cut plexie glass with it

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.

o the blade gets hot, melting the plexiglass which is plastic, this may ruin the piece and gum up the teeth

You need to cut plexie glass on a table saw and put fine toothed blade about 1/4 of the depth of the plexie then slowly raise blade 3-4 times until your through. Also the make jig saw blades for plexie glass. This will chip and crack if you try in 1 pass.

The saw comes with three blades. I would use the standard carbide-tipped blade. It will cut through plexiglass up to 3/8" thick pretty easily.

Yes, I'm sure you can, although I've never done exactly that. I did use it to cut finished kitchen cabinets and it was a good clean cut. Be sure to use a fine toothed blade and test it before you make your finished cut.

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 have never had any luck cutting plexiglass with anything. I have it made to size. Get a very fine toothed blade and practice on a sample of the Plexiglas first. Good luck.

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've not tried it on plexiglass but I would think it would stick to plexiglass even better than it does to glass.

No and No but its glass and can cut and be abrasive if a lot of pressure is applied

I have not tried that but suspect the scissors would probably break or crunch the glass rather then cut it. And I am not sure the cutting surface would get close enough to give a flush to the surface cut against the back of the button.

No this blade is intended to cut glass. We used it to cut glass tile mixed with slate. It worked well for that purpose. You should rent a concrete cutter for your purpose.

I don't see why not. The surface is a pretty hard plastic so it's probably doable. Just remember to round out the corners on the side you're cutting or it'll probably look like poo.

I'll use wet saw (not bouncing) and good (not bouncing) glass cut blade. It depend glass hardness, but bottle glass is soft and I think that you'll get cheeps up to 1/32". Try to cut slow.

Possibly from Antec or local ace hardware/plexi-glass shop. Ya might consider going with a fine/rigid metalic mesh.

The 5792 may be able to do that but I'd strongly advise against using any shears or scissors to cut glass. I'm sure there are tools to do such, but these scissors or any other shears would not be a safe way to do it. Just my opinion.

This worked well for cutting through a 1/4" thick plate glass. Not sure how it will do on a round surface! It doesn't have a sharp point, so it may be more stable & actually do OK!

As it is the same principal as a glass cutter I'm going to say yes. Mosaic glass tile might be difficult but other than that you should be fine.

Yes, of course! you will need a attachment for cutting plastic. But it is better to do it another tool, such as a circular saw with a blade for cutting plastic. here's my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye7BbO9AJn8

I haven't used it on glass but it does a great job on plastics. I'm going to say it would if used with care. Not to aggressive of a cut and a slower speed.

Plexiglass is like acrylic or plastic. This cutting wheel will probably melt or burn as it goes through. I suggest something with little teeth, like this: 2013newestseller 6pcs HSS Rotary Tool Circular Saw Blades Cutting Discs Mandrel for Dremel Cutoff W Connecting RodThanks for asking.

If you're skilled with glass cutting techniques...maybe? It's pretty strong glass.

I know it works on Plexiglass. I have never used it on glass. I would recommend testing it on two small pieces.
