I have allways used the special knife that is usally solf right nxt to the plexisglass, it looks kinda like a harpoon or something, use the sharp point to score the plexiglass then break it at the line you made, you can then use the "cup" part of the knife to round the edge off

here is a crappy ascii pick of what it looks like

: Table saw, circular saw, scoring with exacto? I want the best (smoothest) edges I can get. My cp is shaped like a T so it is not rec/square.h
