yea I did that but most are the omnigrip and I don't like those because the marking are so confusing. I'm just being lazy on this project I'm doing but I think I will just free hand cut as I normally do. I can't see paying the extra money for a one time use.

I do to but I've read on some of the pages here where different ones wouldn't tackle projects because of their inability to figure out the math, that's why I put this here. Hopefully it will get them stared and from there they can feel more successful and maybe try doing the figuring on their own.

PS if you know where I can find a 10 1/2 " square ruler (other then the "Omnigrip") please let me know, thanks![/QUOTE]
A glass shop can cut plexiglass for you - stress accuracy and they're not good for curves
My glass shop closed, then I read on the Board about Lowe's.
Not all locations have the machine to do it
If they have the machine, you buy a 24" square of plexiglass and they will cut it.
Make sure to ask them to have the machine cut in both directions (you'll get smoother edges)
For $24 I got two 8 1/2" squares, a 7" and 7 1/2" plus 2 others I can't remember.
The extra piece turned out to be 3" x 9" and I've actually used it.
