How the hell do you cut Plexi Glass? Trying to build my new speaker boxes.
Putting Lights in the Back of the boxes with 6x9's in the center of Plexi Glass. These will be where the storage Compartments were located. I just need to know how to cut the glass now. I just shattered one piece.

Well, just to ensure I don't break another one, I bought Thicker Plexi Glass and Wood 1/8 in thick and LOTS of Clamps, I've clamped the glass between the wood and I'm doing all the drilling and cutting through the wood and into the glass.
Working well so far, just takes a long time. This is going to look so cool when I'm done.

I'm all about the rotary tools on plexi glass, use a cut off disc, or if you have them, one of those cutting drill bits, i find they work pretty well, and do not shatter or splinter the glass.

Finished with the first Box, OMG! Looks sooooooo Cool. I went to AutoZone and bought a pair of those High speed Lights for the Back Ground, The color matches the color of my car and the color of my Guages I installed the other day. Took about 2 hours to complete one box. Gotta do some honey do's and then i'll start on the next box

finished the second Box, I gotta admit, they look sweet. I don't have a digital camera or I'd take pics and show you guys. Should be getting a digital camera in the next couple of weeks though. When I do, I'll post many pics.

I have found for all thicknesses of Plexi, that the little scroll saw works the best. but the jig saw with a metal blade and slow speed should do well. Remember, you was to cut it, not burn thru it.
