They suggest drilling halfway through and then flipping the sheet
over.
If you do your own search you might come up with something
better.

Do you have a small gear/pulley puller? You could
predrill the required size holes in your planned
cutouts to fit the jaws of the puller and then you
would just use it after each cut.
You could probably make one using a scrap piece of the

It occurs to that I recently used a sheet of acrylic
to cut out some figures. it wasn't 1/2" though. 1/4"
as I recall. I used a scroll saw and a jig saw with
"plastic" blades because the figures required some
intricate pattern cuts.
That doesn't get your "glued in" bit out of the saw,
but maybe i
That worked.
Thanks
I would still like to find a less time consuming way than to have to heat
each and every time though.

Well I just did one real slow, and the same thing, it's nanofused to the
hole saw.
The pilot hole is 1/4" and the arbor hole is 5/8, this thing is such a bear

it and using the Python shaft puller on it.

Slow down the RPM of the drill! You are generating too mush friction heat
which is causing the scrap to deform and fuse itself into the hole saw.
You could also use a Forstner (spelling?) bit which just "shaves" the hole
rather than cutting the diameter.
Been there done that!
