The Methods of Cutting Acrylic Sheets.

Acrylic can be cut, drilled, machined, softened and bent into any shape. If you want to handle acrylic yourself, you will want to determine the length of the acrylic and the   Hardness Of The Acrylic , as this will determine which method will work best. The working temperature of the acrylic is important. Acrylic sheets can be used in a range of temperatures from -30ºF (-24ºC) to +200ºF (93ºC). However, it is recommended that the temperature not exceed 160ºF (71ºC) for continuous use and 190ºF (88ºC) for short term intermittent use. If you are cutting acrylic sheets thicker than 6 mm, or drilling acrylic sheets thicker than 4 mm, use water as a coolant. Hardness Of The Acrylic

Acrylic (PMMA) vs. Plexiglas Polycarbonate

In contrast, polycarbonate excels at drilling, as it can be drilled anywhere on the sheet without causing 99% damage. Acrylic can withstand drilling, but is more likely to break the closer you drill to the edges.   Damage resistance Plastics
