Re: Bronze tint acrylic sheet

This acrylic normally comes with a protective plastic film over it, and can be cut cleanly with ordinary saws that have relatively fine teeth (typically used for metal cutting), especially if you stiffen it by sandwiching it between sacrificial pieces of a material like hardboard or wood. The score & snap method can work too, and it also cuts cleanly with a laser cutter (although you'd want more power than my little 2.5W laser cutter and great filtering/ventilation: laser cutting acrylic materials with unspecified additives can result in quite toxic gasses).

Pretty sure we just cut it with a band saw.
