Well, I just found this as well, and am threatening to pick up a pack... http://store5.yimg.com/I/ecomplastics_1688_7109681 Cheers, -Neil. -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Andy Shaw Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 2:03 PM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [OT]: Cutting acrylic/lexan/plexiglass ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan B.

Seems to work well with thicker lexan and other plastics not sure how well it would work on thinner stuff though. When I first tried this I was cutting about 15mm thick soft poly-something-or-other sheet. I carefully marked things out got out my Jigsaw and made the cut great! Then I tried to push the section I had cut out of the surrounding material it wouldn't move the cut had effectively self healed behind the blade! Must say that next time I have much of this to do I may take up the idea of visiting a local sign maker! I build model r/c subs for a hobby (hence all of the plastic cutting). I often end up buying things like servo activated air valves, lexan tube, pumps etc. I've always found that once you tell the guy (and it always seems to be a guy!) behind the trade counter what it is you are doing they go way out of their way to help you, much more so than any profit they are making would justify. Often doing stuff for free. I guess it just makes a change to get a request for something out of the ordinary. A bit like the piclist I suppose people just like to help when they can!
