Best method for cutting down delrin?

So I have some 12x12 acetal plate, whats the best way to cut this into 3" sections?

I would use a wood table saw or skilsaw with a guide clamped to the plastic plate to get straight cuts.

Any recommendations on blade type to use?

As long as it is sharp, it will cut it! We use a carbide toothed blade with great results!

Get what is called a Triple Chip blade. It will be labelled for cutting plastic and nonferrous metals.

It is possible to cut Delrin with a sharp wood blade but you get a much smoother cut with less blade vibration using the triple chip blade.
