I need a piece of 1/4 inch plexiglass (3 1/2 X 30). The smallest piece Lowe's has cost $36 (I think it is 48 X 4. I'm building a crosscut sled and need it for the blade guard. Does anyone know of a place that will cut it in smaller pieces and not charge for the whole sheet?
First of all, I would recommend Lexan/Polycarbonate rather than Plexiglass/Acrylic. It cuts better and won't shatter if it ever accidently comes in contact with a spinning cutter.
Which Lowes are you going to?
The piece on top of the fan/filter in my current avatar (that's my clone - Ryan - who lives up to expectations that come with that far too often ) is a stock piece from Lowes in Cary. I mean bar code and everything; I pulled it out of a stack. There were several different sizes and thicknesses available. I think I paid around $5.
Edit - in case I change my avatar, here is the one I was referring to:
