Sounds like that would come in handy for some zero clearance and dado throat plates for the table saw too.
There are times when a clear material besides glass or plexiglass would be nice. Plexiglas is not only expensive but brittle and cracks or breaks to0o easily to be used in a shop environment. I ran into clear sheet PVC several years ago and still have a small 1/4 inch think scrap left which I have been closely guarding. I needed to make a new base plate for one of my routers the other day, or else remove the template bushing from the one it had which did not particularly appeal to either since the hole would still be too small for the cutter I wished to use, and then I remembered that scrap of PVC. Twenty minutes later I had a new clear base plate that looks every bit as good as what I might have bought if I could have even found one.
A 24X48 inch sheet of 1/4 inch clear PVC is available from US Plastics for about 84.00 plus freight and while that is certainly not cheap a piece that size would probably make all the throats and plates a person would ever need. There are other thicknesses also to be had but that is what I had in stock.
