How To Cut Acrylic Sheet By Hand

[@krypton1982]

Man... thank you for ACTUALLY taking the time in putting this together. I know it is significant work. But trust me,...we all appreciate your contribution. Thank you...thank you.

[@rustinstardust2094]

For the scoring method, I would never have guessed to manipulate the longer side of the acrylic for a more even cut - but that actually makes total sense.

Great job! ,Clear and concise instruction. Well done. 加油！

Great video! Straight to the point, no bs story about oneself, or some narration. Just clear, concise instructions, oh and, great tips too! Thanks!

100% I agree with you.

[@cwrobinson6363]

I liked the way you made that wooden jig to saw plexiglass so much that I designed and made one for myself. I made mine so that you don't need a sacrificial sheet of wood to make clean cuts. I tested two saws and found that I a cross-cut-saw is a lot better than a rip saw. Now I can make super accurate and clean cuts from 1/16" to 1/2" thick plexiglass sheets. Finally, my jig allows you to sand and or polish your cut piece if you desire to do so. I am thinking about making a KZbin video for people who may want to make one for themselves. Thank you so much for that Idea.

Amazing. I was convinced I'd need some fancy power tools but you got an awesome finished with just hand tools. Really appreciate this!

[@EightyAnthony]

Wow. I’ve watched so many videos and played with acrylic sheets from the $1 odds and ends bin. I learned so many things that I never would have known! So many vital tips.

Thank you for not confusing acrylic with polycarbonate! So very much appreciated! Great info here.

Worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much for the video 😃

[@rezamehrani3122]

I wasn't a fan of cutting acrylic , but this was fun & useful to watch. And I need to mention it was well edited, short but enough tips for those who need to learn cutting acrylic. Well done 👍, nice.

Unusually high quality for a KZbin instructional video. Thank you!

[@cauanicastro6722]

The best instructional video I’ve seen so far, love everything about it. Fantastic job!

[@pekomsmink]

This is the best cutting guide for acrylic out there. Got a few small pieces I need to cut soon, now I can say I am prepared!

[@melindahenley7304]

Thanks for this great, easy to understand video. I'm going to use your instructions to make a nail polish storage shelf for my mom's nail shop. I don't have a saw and will try the scoring method on recycled sheets. I wanna build a really nice and economical shelf using leftover acrylic sheets, thrifted fancy frames, an old mirror, aluminum foil and leftover wood PLUS I want the whole thing lit up with soft led light strips so no one has to bother remembering to replace the batteries in them string lights. It'll be just as good, if not better than the $850+ dollar inspo ones, wish me luck

[@cosador]

That sounds awesome! Just remember to practice and be safe. Good luck!

[@j.mccarthy3008]

Thank you very much!! I’ve been playing with some acrylic lately. Well mostly breaking acrylic lately. This was very educational and helpful.

Followed these instructions with new sheet 12” x 72”, scoring method. Worked perfectly, now have the 2 sheets I wanted: 12 x 46.5 and 12 x 25.5. Thanks again.

[@user-hs5dj2ke5f]

Very very cool video. Great detail but easy to follow.😊

[@JonValtandtheEvilRobots]

Hey awesome amount of detail without too much extra info and also not going too fast. Plus we Americans think a British accent makes someone sound super smart. Excellent production including the multiple angles and well timed cuts. Sandwiching material between other pieces when sanding the edge. My god the time and frustration this stupidly easy tip would have saved me over the years. 🤣🤣

[@carlosabrahamcarrionmartin5655]

Captain here; I see that not many people know this (not even the guy in the video): You should turn your xacto knife upside down.The exacto knife has a notch on its first segment on the opposite side of the sharp edge. THAT NOTCH is specifically made to score a deep cut into the acrilyc, and that will make it easier and faster to snap the acrilyc. -flies away-.

[@cosador]

Hi Captain, There are many specific tools for acrylic for those who look. The video is not to tell people about every single tool or brand, it's just to get people started. Thanks for sharing your tip!
