I want to build an acrylic window for the top of the prodigy where the fan filter is that you can remove. I planned on using this glass http://www.amazon.com/Sheet-Clear-Cell-Acrylic-Plexiglass/dp/B00844SOSE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top .

 

I don't know much about cutting this type of stuff so what type of tools would I need to round the edges?

To have the cleanest result you need a speciality tool for cutting it. I have no clue what the tool is though since I've only seen it used once in a shop xD

I think I'm literally just going to bring the peice into Home Depot and say I want a peice of acrylic exactly like this and have them cut it.
