![]() you don't "need" a special blade but a Triple Chip Blade works the best and is usually recommended.

I bought a brand new 10" x 80 tooth freud blade specific for plastics/acrylic a couple weeks ago. http://www.freudtools.com/p-41-plexi...csbr-nbsp.aspx I've only cut a couple pieces, but man oh man it makes freaking smooth edges! I also bought a 1/2" triple fluted flush trim router bit, and it cuts acrylic nice and smooth too! very very pleased with freud tools, they are worth the money if you're going to do alot.

Yes you don't need a special blade but blades unlike the triple chip blade (typ. acrylic blade design) will not cut smooth edges. If you are looking for clean edges for bonding water tight joints you will need to run them through a jointer unless you're using an appropriate blade on a table saw. my opinion only |
