Micro Table Saw for cutting slots

[SantaMonica]

Here is the micro table saw that I use to cut the slots in the pipes:

It comes with two blades, and if you put them together like a pancake the thickness will be perfect for a 1/8 inch slot for a single layer of plastic canvas. I've cut about 20 slots and the blades are just starting to need replacing. There are other similar micro saws if you search for them ("mini table saw", etc), as well as some slightly larger "mini" table saws which get a bit expensive for just cutting pipes.

Will it also cut 1/4" acrylic sheets?

I'd say no. Go one size bigger.
