I can't comment on the saw, but I found that cutting plastic is made very easy if you put a piece of masking tape on the plastic first, and let the blade cut through it. The tape cleans the blade, and the plastic is cut, not melted. You can also see a pencil line lots better, which is how I discovered this. I cut a couple hundred feet of cuts in plexiglas using this method, and it works well on styrene too. I use a scroll saw with a guide on it to cut various small wood sizes.
Good luck with the saw. On large saws I have seen folks put the blade on backwards to cut vinyl siding. This might work with the little saw for some materials.
