I just remembered that a jigsaw also works for cutting plastic. I 
used to do it that way before I got my table saw. It's harder to cut 
a straight line with a jigsaw. But at least a jigsaw doesn't take up 
a lot of room, isn't too loud, and doesn't throw all the plastic bits 
back into your face. If you go the jigsaw route, I recommend a fairly 
wide blade to help make the edges as straight as possible. It's too 
easy to accidentally cut a curve with narrow blades. Get a blade 
that's got lots of fine teeth in it and make sure it isn't one of 
those blades with the teeth pointing downwards.
