And I've been a glazier since 1996. Oh, J. Soiluea, I was born in 1974!!! The safety glass you other guys saw being cut was laminated safety glass. Just two pieces of regular glass held together by a PVB inner layer. Yeah, I use denatured alcohol and fire to cut the inner layer. Really freaks out the customers! I would strongly recommend polycarbonate (lexan) over acrylic (plexiglass). Acrylic WILL shatter upon impact and you will never get a worse cut. The stuff could potentially kill you in an accident. Strong and sharp, not a good combination.
