    Jane, thank you so much for your video. I needed to replace two broken panes that my rambunctious grandson broke. I found your video and realized all I needed was the correct saw blade. Got a pact of plexiglass blades and easily cut out the panes for the door. Job easily done because of your video. Keep them coming.

Thanks for always being there when I arrive. You're the best!

    Thanks for sharing - I didn't know a plexiglas jigsaw blade exists!
    Just thought I'd mention, instead of using a scoring tool I use a box cutter and score the plexi a few times along a metal ruler, then snap it. It gives a super crisp and smooth break.

    Leah, this is an awesome video, and I appreciate the talents God has giving you. I'm a professional glass cutter that makes customized figurines, things on the wall and even in fish tanks.
    The only thing is I would not use sandpaper but instead a razor blade to take all the burs off.
    Be blessed in Jesus.

    I've put off things that required me to cut plexiglass, as I've had so much trouble in the past. Hit and miss, with a lot of wasted material from cracks, or chipped edges. Knowing about this blade, I may give this a shot. There are a lot of decorate lamps and things, that sometimes need a small piece cut. So glad you put this video up!

    I've been using the scoring tool with my Logan Simplex Mat Cutter... It works 50% of the time. The other half of the time I've got problems. I tried the jigsaw blade method about a year ago with not very good results.... The difference is I didn't know there was a specific blade for plexi-glass until right now... THANK YOU!! God,...this helps!!

    Years ago I made a Plexiglas extension table for my sewing machine. I used a jig saw
    but don't remember the blade. I do remember doing a lot of sanding.
    This blade would have been a God send.

    i have to cut a piece for a small job and your video was perfect. I recently installed a wood stove in my home and looked at some videos to cut tile. Just score it and it'll break cleanly! Yeah right. Tried it with a razor knife for the first ruined tile. Dremel tool for the next two. Ruined two dremel cutting wheels too and those little suckers ain't cheap. Thought I hadn't scored it enough the first time but ya'll get the picture.
