So what's different about an acrylic blade? Up until now I thought it was just more teeth that you wanted. Is the shape of the teeth different?

Would a place like Industrial Paints & Plastics have a blade like that or do you need to special order it from somewhere?

some features are simulare like the tripple chip tooth arangment, but the shape of the space between the teeth is different to reduce heat and melting and to clear the chips faster. also the rake of the teeth is different. my blade was 160+tax after my discount. go to a saw shop and ask for a nomelt acrilic blade. should be between 150 to 200 bucks. or for the same price drive to the Island and I will cut it for ya :mrgreen:

also the design of that one was that you needed to build two of them. one for the larger pipe and one for the smaller pipe and I didn't want two jigs taking up space when one could do it.

if you already have made one I would suggest going out and getting a chunk of MDF to use as the backing plate to give your tube a truer surface to run on. you will notice it in your cuts.
