Hey can I take a side off of this somehow? I wanna turn it into a Cora

what’s the best way to cut off the weirs

Best way to cut acrylic is with a table saw fitted with a fence.

You do not need a special blade. Really any rip or crosscut blade will work. The higher tooth count on the blade, the faster you will need to feed the work through the blade to keep it from melting. New prepared as this will throw around a lot of little pieces of acrylic. Drop the blade in the table so there is any 1/2" protruding. Make both long cuts, then short cuts. Ppe required.

Example below.

For a viewer the black bit with the big hole needs removing and then just seal the two holes on the left, I used to make viewers but slightly differently.

I don’t have a table saw. I have a miter saw. Can I use that? Or what if I mail it to you? LoL.

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

Would be easier to buy one haha. Or make one from scratch. 5 pieces of acrylic and the right glue is all you need

Easier yet, 8 or 10" pvc slice, one piece of acrylic.

I could easily modify it however you need if you want to send it here.

A miter saw is not the right tool for the job although it COULD be used successfully. I wouldn't personally.
