A circular saw can also be used to cut plexiglass easily. Just use a
regular plywood blade, but put it on backwards and leave the protective
film on/use tape where you make the cut.

Hmm, never considered putting on the blade backwards. I used my table saw
to cut some nylon cutting board (about 1/2" thick). It seemed to wear
down the blade a bit (it strainsa tad when I cut wood now...better change
it) but it worked pretty well.
