As you can imagine most acrylic companies with laser/CNC capabilities are busy trying to get pieces cut for the current health situation so my 2 week wait (and great price) has long come and gone to the point I can't see it happening anytime soon, if at all this year.
I can wait the bigger out but was hoping to get a couple of smaller ones made to modify the Fluval Flex aquariums I've got, simply to make life more simple for my mum and also give me a smaller one to enjoy while my bigger one gets sorted. This was a quick fix for me - haha
I can get the panels cut to size online easily enough, although quite a lot more expensive.
What about cutting holes, slots or even the sheet itself?
I know @zozo linked me into the king of DIY before over something different where he uses a bench saw to cut the teeth which are never going to be square as a saw blade is round so not so keen on that for starters.
Given that it got me thinking about routing out some 3mm or 4mm slots into 5mm acrylic and ordering a bigger piece to simply cut to the sizes I need.
This then also leads me onto question cutting some teeth into a piece of 10mm acrylic also and if anyone has experience or wisdom to share.
*The router I have now doesn't have adjustable speed for anyone in the know.
I look forward to some input; I'm sure there will be different views!
Thanks
