A good quality Carbide Tipped Triple Chip saw blade is preferred when cutting Plexiglas. This reduces the amount of chipout on the opposite side of the material and produces a smooth edge. A Router can be used to cut Plexiglas as well. The Router should be at least 1.5 HP or better and with changeable collets for a 0.5" Shank quality 2 flute Carbide bit. This reduces the vibration and chattering when cutting and will produce a more smooth edge. See similar questions...

Check the protective paper covering for any rips, tears or folding at the time of purchase. In most cases if visual inspection is not done at the place of purchase, it's very difficult to prove product defects or damage done by the seller.
