    Hi guys,

    I want to cut a small bit of acrylic.

    I need to cut some curves, and some of it is fairly intricate, so my jigsaw won't do.

    Can I use a dremel, and if so, what attachment will I need?

    Cutting acrylic with a dremel can get quite messy - go slow, and pour some sort of coolant over it while cutting, or it crack and chip. Good luck :)
