I cut the holes and shape of my plexi all in less then two minutes... Yes, Routers rule! |

Did your edges end up nice and clean? I have a router I could use, but I didn't know what it would do to lucite. |

I just used a router and flush cutting bit last night on some plexi... Went fairly quickly. I don't have a plunge router/bit so needed to make starter holes ... but after that it was just "tracking" the mdf button holes in a circle. Easy as pie... (note didn't want to use plexi -- my buddy tried to cut the lexan with circular saw and some how dorked it up... cut off too much... we had some extra plexi that we were gonna use for the marquee sandwhich so... said what heck worse thing that happens is we break the cheaper plexit...) rampy |

Cool, I'll try the router on the smaller straight edges then instead of the snap-off method. I have pics but if I post them now I'll be late for class! |

Let there be no more confusion. Name brands of acrylic sheets polymethyl-methacrylate 1 Acrylite made by Cyro 2 Crystalite made by the Crystalite corp. 3 Lucite made by Dupont 4 Perspex made by Dupont Name brands of polycarbonate 1 Lucite Tuf made by Dupont 2 Lexan made by General Electric plastics division There are dozens of names and manufacturers for both of these types of sheet plastic but these are pretty much the main brand names that you'll find in Homeowner building warehouses ie Home Depot and Lowes. |
