chouseknecht Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Does anyone know how to keep plexiglass from melting back together while cutting it with a scroll saw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Slow speed and a blade that removes the cut plexiglass quickly. The Polar blades from Flying Dutchman work well for this. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I never tried it myself. But this thread might help. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/1621-how-to-scroll-in-sheet-plastic/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepy Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I found that by applying masking tape over the areas to be cut and then drawing the lines on the tape that I got clean cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Yes, the masking tape works great. I did a test last year and found that I can still cut with a high blade speed and there was absolutely no melting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
