Plastic Cutting Tool

Plastic Cutting Tool | Hand Cut Plastic The Plastic Cutting Tool is the perfect acrylic companion when making score- line cuts.  This tool is conveniently small but effective for making straight, scoreline cuts to acrylic sheets up to 1/4".   Once the scoreline is made, it's as simple as snapping the sheet into your useable size! Directions: Mark your line: with a pen or pencil, mark the sheet where you want the cut to be made. If you need a perfectly straight line, make sure to use a framing square. Score the material: Score the material several times - repeat the scoring process once for every .025 inch of thickness. 1/8" inch = 5 times 3/16" inch = 7 times 1/4" inch = 10 times . Break along the scored line: an easy way to break the material is to position one half on the edge of a table, forcing pressure on the other half. The material will quickly break along your scored line. Another option is to position a dowel or rod running along the length of the scored line. Firmly apply pressure on one side until the sheet cleanly breaks
