Tried & succeeded cutting 2mm acrylic. Most important : 2 sides cutting line need to match with less gap to make nice break. Don’t use force to break it, let it break.
Should have seen this befor trying to break mine. I didn't "cut" enough with the utilty knife and didn't secure the sheet with enough force before pressing down and it broke in two pieces. Oh well, at least now i know. Thanks for the tips!
@@HeavenlyFlowers313 After my comment I've been cutting 2mm sheets. I'd say 4mm is doable as well, never tried it but I've seen it on videos. I guess you just gotta pre-cut better with the knife before trying to break it. Circles/curves would probably be a pain in the butt. BUT maybe if you can get a way to secure it very tightly along the curve AND if you get a rigid mold slightly larger than the curve you're about to cut and put it beneathth sheet AND you pre-cut the curve very well, it might work
So total amateur here. I had a small/medium scrap piece I needed to trim to make it easier to store. I used a power tool. LOL Fortunately no injuries. Thanks for the simple tutorial vid.
Came to find out more about scoring and cutting acrylic... And what i do know is, you're from Hawaii 100%! No doubt. First, there's "da slippa", then the pronunciation of word "fifteen" and the phrase "fo use" are dead give aways. Cheeehee from Texas braddah 🤙😂

😂 Pretty sure that's how half of us got here , it's just funny as hell when it happens to someone else , takes off some of the sting
How thick is the sheets?
Can you cut curves or circles? Up to what thickness

I would have cried 😂 All that effort 😂
Just what I needed! Thanks!

Smart and clean
Do you think I could use this method to make windows for a custom lego set?
What kind of sand paper you used??

Whoa! Glad to hear that you’re okay. 👍
Would a 4mm thick sheet be thin enough for this? I'm afraid of the rest of my sheet cracking
I'm not sure. The sheet I cut in the video was .093" or 2.36mm thick.

This plexiglass not acrylic
Not really. It is an Optix brand acrylic sheet that I got from the Home Depot. Plexiglass is also a type of acrylic sheet.
Thanks.
