I used a box cutter. I clamped a steel yard stick for a straight edge to the edge of plywood. I scored the acrylic along the stick until it snapped. I used the outside edge for cutting fabric with the rotery cutter, as the edge I scored was a bit rough. - I do woodworking and at home I have a band saw and belt sander. - Original piece 18"x24". Finished ruler- 5"x24". Left over acrylic - 13"x24". Total cost -$6.59. - I will mark as needed with a sharpie after scoring with box cutter for now.
