I have a nice piece of acrylic and would like to know what to use to cut it for a frag rack. Also what is everyone's experience with magnets? Which ones do you suggest? I do already have the special drill bit. Please post pics and offer guidance. I'm not normally a diy kind of guy but would like to try this! Thanks everyone:)
 
As far as cutting, I used this from Home Depot. It doesn't actually cut it but instead scores the acrylic for you to snap at the line. I think it works up to 1/4" thick if I remember correctly. As magnets go I used an old mag-float that had worn down and needed replacing anyway.
