How to cut Dibond and other ACM (aluminum composite material) panels.

Thanks! Piece of cake!

So glad it helped!

Hi! Would you know what thickness of aluminum is in this specific dibond? I see there's multiple thicknesses. Other than from 3-5mm overall thickness, the aluminum thickness can range from 0.12 to 0.8mm. Thanks!

Been searching of a way to do this, so thanks for posting it. If you have a print already printed on the dibond will this method damage the print?

[@TheMightyBluegill]

If you score through the print and then through the aluminum and snap it it shouldn't hurt the print other than your hand being on it to hold the main board down. You could probably solve for that by putting a piece of newsprint at the like on top between your hand and the print.

👍 thanks!

What thickness is this?

[@brendab2918]

Will this work with a thicker ACM?

[@TheMightyBluegill]

3/16, I believe. It should work with thicker, you may need to score it more deeply with multiple passes.

Very interesting. Tip: Have the camera fixed in front of you instead of "waving" around when moving. One position will give everything you cover. JMO.

Yikes. Too much blade extension on that Olfa! Normally scoring one side is enough. Clean up with back edge of Olfa.

Good advice. Thank you.
