The waste material produced when cutting acrylic is unlikely to be breathed in due to its size however, you could wear a dust mask if you are concerned.
When you cut acrylic by hand with a coping saw there is not enough speed built up with the use of the saw, so therefore waste material will not have a the ability to fly off at any speed that could potentially cause injury to eyes. Goggles are required as PPE when speed of waste material or swarf comes away from your work 'at you' which can only be caused by electrical tools. Hence why goggles or eye protection are used on pillar drills or belt sanders. But NOT coping saws. Hence the lack of eye protection shouldn't be a concern to you.
Haha sorry my friend but you made me laugh when you said "wasting energy", it makes no difference if you use the full blade or just a part, you equally move back (cutting) and forward (not cutting) regardless :) good demo.
It's not time or cost effecting, though. You'll go through blades way quicker, since you're using less teeth to make more frequent cuts. Think of them as tiny chisels - which they effectively are - each time you cut with them they lose some sharpness, like using a 1" chisel when you could reasonably use a 4". It's going to take a lot longer to remove the material, and you're going to have to replace the cutting edge (i.e. sharpen your chisel/replace your saw blade) way more often.
Brilliant - I'll use this in my lesson.
You cover the main points really clearly.
Thank you
You are welcome
u a teacher?
That's good to hear, I hope that the lesson goes well!
Nice explanation of how you can turn the blade and then re-tighten it and then the saw frame would be out of the way. Thanks!
Thanks, you are welcome.
Very clear, very useful... thanks!!!
You are welcome!
Very well explained. thank you so much.
What about if you have a larger project as in a Polycarbonate sheet I need to cut to a four feet bow shape.
3:22 love this sonddddddddd
Thanks for sharing these tips.
You are welcome
Good Instructions! Thank you
You are welcome!
Why do you have the teeth facing down on the pull stroke? I do that and everyone says I'm wrong.
Tbh that subject is a can of worms! Rather than diving in, I'm going to say it's down to personal preference!
Thanks, brother.
Could someone please summarise this so I have a better chance of understanding?
try to get closer to the the work to make it esear to see
Thx
My friend's profile picture is a picture of your face for some reason...
I did this for engineering now im finnaly not ganna cut mah finger off -_-
@@peachypeachbros3133 Sounds painful, I hope our better. Stay safe and dont die! UwU

Great demonstration; however, it concerns me that the instructor is not wearing eye protection.
