Best way to Cut Acrylic?

[dandragonrage]

Short of a laser, do it by hand (hacksaw, coping saw, etc). I've done it with a dremel and it can be done, but cut fast and be prepared to need to fix the edges a lot. They WILL melt.

Or if you just want a circle, say for a fan, use a holesaw.

i second that.. holesaw all the way for fan mounts

i learned the hard way on my last case..used my dremel...godly mess.

i was able to fix it with the sanding bit. used holesaw on my current case for a blow hole, and it came out nearly perfect, took a bit longer, but looks better
