for acrylic cutting you want to use a jigsaw with a fine blade if possible.

I use a finer blade when cutting acrylic with a circular saw; but some sanding will likely be necessary to get a perfectly smooth edge (if done right, the cut will be pretty smooth so this shouldn't be much of an issue).

isnt that what self tapping screws do? they have a little drill bit on the end of them, then it has the threads like a regular screw?

Self-tapping screws are not meant for use in acrylic

Update:
EPIC FAIL and first attempt! ![]() well this is the second fail, i was screwing pilot holes and well i guess i went crooked and came out lol. the first epic fail, was i got one screw in except it needed like 2 more threads and then the end broke where the phillips goes, but that i could get around to continue but the second fail was to failure. So im off to home depot to see if they carry some acrylic.
