I am looking for suggestions on cutting 1/2 acrylic 4x8 sheets. I have a table saw and a circular saw. Looking for some tips.
 
I always just use a quality circular saw with a guide. Use a blade with highest tooth count you can find, and rig up some way to douse the blade with water (or coolant if you're fancy). Move the saw very slowly when cutting, make sure you're not melting any acrylic.

Other than that, I strongly suggest practicing on some scrap acrylic before making your decisive cuts. Best of luck, MFKer.
