rahim101 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 What the best way to cut acrylic at home???? Looks to be about 6 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic_Aquariums Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Do you have a table saw? That's the best way, a fine tooth blade, and do it slowly. If not, a fine tooth jigsaw blade will do an o.k. job as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahim101 Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Jigsaw it is!! Thanks, Unless...some has a table saw and is willing to cut for me???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic_Aquariums Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Does the acrylic still have the protective film on it? If not, put masking tape right over the foot (base) of the jigsaw. This will prevent scratching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakel2k Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 How much did the sheet cost if you don't mind me asking? I've been wanting to build an 90G acrylic tank but hte cost of the acrylic was almost twice the cost of buying the glass tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahim101 Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 It's a couple of small square pieces that came with a tank I bought. They dont fit that tank to well so I want to cut then down to fit a smaller tank!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
