If it's acrylic, like acrylite, you can just score it several times where
you want to break it, then snap it off on the edge of a table or something.
They make a little plastic scorer for this. If it's something like Lexan,
you'll have to cut slowly with a power saw of some kind.

Band saw is the best way to cut it use as slow a speed as possible.
Your router or roto-zip probably spins too fast and will just melt the
plastic instead of cutting it. Avoid using a jig saw or reciprocating
saw as the plastic will probably crack from the vibration. I like to
cut about an 1/8" outside the line then trim to the line using a wood
plane.
