Re: Cutting Lexan

Another great way to cut Lexan is to use either an exact-o knife or a knife that is specially made to cut lexan (Normally you can buy one of these at any local hardware store or atleast one that sells lexan.)

Acrylic as has been crakes very easily. To much vibrations or to much heat when cutting it can cause it to deform. The best way to cut acrylic is to cut it with a hack saw if it is that firm, if its not then i have no idea (I normally break acrylic cause i really have never found a way to cut it good).
