To cut the plexiglass I used a regular jeweler's saw with a spiral blade. You drill a hole first, then insert the blade and cut out the pattern. It took a little longer than cutting metal, but it worked great. What are you going to make? Hope you'll share your project!

Or go through their scrap bins! I have those 12" long brass texture patterns from Metalliferous...don't you also have them? I ordered a few more that I should get Friday. Rolling the metal through takes a bit of effort, using both hands. Maybe you don't have the rollers tight enough? My rolling mill is from Euro, nothing fancy or expensive. Sorry I have no secrets to share!
