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.

Also checkout upcut and downcut spiral router bits like the Onsrud.

Just needed to throw in my two cents

band saw works good as well, i used to make acrylic cases for electronics in highschool.

i dont really have a table saw that i could use, so i just got them to cut the peices i needed, then used a skill saw to cut the slits at the top, worked out well

thanks for all the replys
