How to Cut Acrylic Sheets with a Table Saw
- Choose the Right Saw Blade: Use a fine-tooth carbide blade with 80+ teeth to prevent chipping.
- Secure the Acrylic Sheet: Place the sheet firmly on the table saw and use push sticks or clamps for stability.
- Adjust Blade Height: Set the blade 5-10mm above the acrylic sheet to minimize vibrations.
- Slow and Steady Cutting: Push the sheet slowly to prevent overheating and melting; pause if overheating occurs.
- Post-Cutting Finishing: Use 800#-2000# sandpaper to smooth the edges, or apply flame polishing for a clearer finish.
