whats your application? you can cut it yourself if your not talking about making anything large. but like baffles or maybe an overflow is doable.

Acrylic can be cut w/ just about anything - bandsaw, hacksaw, power saw... I've used all of the above. So either you can cut it or find a friend or machine shop.

I've used a hacksaw which works great.

Score your cut, then I used a hacksaw to make some one inch cuts on each side. Break it off on the side of a table. If its just for a sump and doesnt have to be pretty it works very well. If you need to trim it more just score it again and use a pair of vice grips to break it off. I've broken off 1/8" and less with this method. hope that helps.
