With everything prepared lets get going. (attached to this step is 03-OPNM-Acrylic Cut Summary.pdf this is the formalized steps we go through when manufacturing)

The first step involves taking the full 4' x 8' sheets of acrylic and reducing them to a stack of 9.5" x 9.5" sheets.

This is quite straightforward, if not slightly time consuming. Set the table saws guard to 9.55" (a little extra for safety) and saw away.

This creates quite a lot of plastic chips and an awful smell, so an exhaust fan is a must and vacuuming of each piece afterward is also called for.
