[pedro083]

ok looking to see if i have missed a easy way with this. I have picked up some blocks of acrylic but they are about 50mm thick is there another way to cutt these up or is a jig and a handsaw the best.

If you know a woodworker with a band saw I think that would be the best tool, least waste as the blade is quite thin. If you don't have access to a band saw, table saw, or large enough sliding compound mitre saw then yes its a hand jobby :mrgreen:

I have a compound sliding mitre saw but as cutting only 3mm block cant be clampted and shot out at last bit so no good, know somebody that works in joinery workshop so that might be way forward

If you don't have any joy locally, I can do it for you. Might have to wait till the New Year, mind.
