    If you have access to a bandsaw thats what you need to use. A jig saw with a good blade may do the job, and a dremel may also work. But bandsaw is the numero 1 choice. One of my best friends family make motorcycle windshields and thats what they use.

    shouldn't need too many, plexiglass isn't very hard so shouldnt eat through wheels too bad.

    The wheels are made of hopes and dreams. They seem to explode a brief moment after contacting anything.

    Yeah, should be alot thinner than thick plastic. However I've only used the bigger wheels in a air ziz wheel. The dremel wheels may be weaker.
