    Anyone got a suggestions for cutting 6-8mm thick perspex

    Have access to a load of post covid screens which will need to be trimmed. The ens pieces wont be that big but useful for a glass house: i might end up with 200 plus pieces so need to be able to cut at scale. Nothing on youtube gives me confidence. Thanks as always

    Table saw choices.
