Can you screw into acrylic?

It takes a special drill bit to properly drill through Plexiglas, Lucite, Acrylite, or Perspex acrylic sheet. When drilling holes for screws, you must make the hole larger than the screw itself to allow for expansion and contraction of the material. If not you will cause stress cracks at the hole and they will spread!

Can you glue plexiglass to wood?

Gluing Plexiglass to wood is possible, and you will not face any hassles either. All you need to do is to lightly roughen the wood first and then clean the wooden area which will be glued. Use acetone or isopropanol to clean both surfaces. If you need to glue large surfaces, then a spray adhesive is more effective.

Can you cut Optix acrylic with a table saw?
