Standard Cut-to-Size Length and Width Tolerances

Tolerances for the length and width of standard cut-to-size acrylic plexiglass panels range +/-1/8" (but these do tend to be more precise). If you or your team require a greater degree of accuracy, please contact us.

Tolerances for acrylic sheet thickness can range between +10% and - 10% . These can differ throughout the plexiglass panel, but variations are typically less than 5%. Nominal and actual sheet thicknesses can be found below:

  • 0.06" plexiglass sheet = 1.5mm plexiglass sheet
  • 0.08" plexiglass sheet = 2mm plexiglass sheet
  • 0.09" plexiglass sheet = 2.3mm plexiglass sheet
  • 0.098" plexiglass sheet = 2.5mm plexiglass sheet
  • 1/8" plexiglass sheet = 3mm plexiglass sheet = 0.118" plexiglass sheet
  • 3/16" plexiglass sheet = 4.5mm plexiglass sheet = 0.177" plexiglass sheet
  • 1/4" plexiglass sheet = 5.5mm plexiglass sheet = 0.217" plexiglass sheet
  • 3/8"plexiglass sheets = 9mm plexiglass sheets = 0.354" plexiglass sheet
  • 1/2" plexiglass sheet = 12mm plexiglass sheet = 0.472" plexiglass sheet
  • 3/4" plexiglass sheet = 18mm plexiglass sheet = 0.709" plexiglass sheet
  • 1" plexiglass sheet = 24mm plexiglass sheet = 0.945" plexiglass sheet
  • 1.25" plexiglass sheet = 30mm plexiglass sheet = 1.18" plexiglass sheet
  • 1.5" plexiglass sheet = 38mm plexiglass sheet = 1.50" plexiglass sheet
  • 2" plexiglass sheet = 50mm plexiglass sheet = 1.97" plexiglass sheet
  • 3" plexiglass sheet = 75mm plexiglass sheet = 2.95" plexiglass sheet

Can You Cut Acrylic With A Dremel?

How Do You Cut Shapes In Acrylic?

Can You Cut Acrylic With A Jigsaw?

Yes, you can cut acrylic with a jigsaw. This has many benefits as it is a handheld tool that allows you to have more control over cutting your shapes. Using a jigsaw is a great option if you plan to cut more curves or circular designs into your sheet.

Can A Glass Cutter Cut Acrylic?

Yes, plexiglass acrylic is very versatile and can in fact be cut by a glass cutter. Plexiglass is shatterproof and does not require a glass cutter, however it can in fact be used to cut plexiglass.

How Do You Cut Curves In Plexiglass?

In order to cut curves into plexiglass, you can opt for a jigsaw, a dremel, or you can take more manual approach. This would include using a table saw with closely spread teeth, cutting the edges off of the sides around your acrylic to make it as circular as possible. Then, sand the circumference of your sheet.

What Kind Of Blade Do I Use To Cut Plexiglass?

An industry favorite way to cut thin plexiglass is through the use of a circular saw blade with carbide-tipped metal. If your plexiglass is on the thicker side, it is advised that you use a saw.

People Also Ask:

Does plexiglass break?

Plexiglass is shatter-resistant and has 17 times the impact strength of glass but can be broken when enough force is applied. However, when plexiglass does break, it does not shatter into sharp pieces, like its glass counterpart.

Does plexiglass come in colors?

Plexiglass comes in a large variety of colors and opacities. Popular colors include blue, red, bronze, white, black, yellow and green. Many colors are available as transparent, translucent or opaque options. At Acme we carry a wide selection of colors for your team to choose from.

How do you cut thin plexiglass by hand?

Plexiglass can be cut by hand using a scoring knife or a Dremel tool. In both instances, you would use a marker or ruler to indicate where you intend to cut it. To cut the material with a scoring knife, you should make a small cut in the marked area. Then place the sheet on a table with the marked side facing up. Bend the acrylic over the edge to cut the acrylic sheet. For a Dremel, you should clamp the material down and slowly make the cut. Water will help ensure that the Dremel does not overheat and ruin the plastic. Sand the acrylic after for a smooth edge. More detailed instructions can be found here.
