I was told this could be easily done with a laser cutter which can often be found at Makerspace groups which also have 3D printers and other techie stuff. There is a big Makerspace group in Orlando but would prefer to stay local. I am told and was surprised to find even some libraries in major cities have 3D printers and laser cutters but highly unlikely here.
Anyone know of a club or local Makerspace group that has a laser cutter? Just for a thin piece of plexiglass.
TIA

It's actually easy with a bandsaw using a fine blade and a homemade jig rotating the plastic on a nail in wood clamped on the saw. The distance of the nail from the blade is the radius of your circle. Drill a hole in the plastic to allow a 4p nail to pass through. Buff after sanding for a perfect finish.
