HD doesn't cut acrylic

kbxiong67 · 09-30-2005, 06:08 PM

I didn't know that HD stopped cutting acrylic? I just went to 3 and they all refused to cut it. Weird cause I've done it before and they were fine with it.

Do you guys know if lowes cut it? If not....how in the world am I gonna get my baffles installed for my 29g sump??

Help!

cut it with a table saw. That is what I did......

Could also try a circular saw, just be careful....

Use a table saw with a 80 tooth or higher blade.

Thanks for the advice guys....but one thing....I don't have any tools....where else can I get it cut?

Go buy a cheap skill saw and a fine tooth blade. Set up a rip fence and get cutting.

I use a scribe... it works really well and is only $8-9. (just make sure youre measuring correctly because you cant snap pieces real short)

Thanks for the advice and support guys. I actually just got back from Lowes. They cut acrylic!! =) Not only that, the guy there used the scraps to cut what I needed....it was dirt cheap. =)

Ace hardware stores generally do it as well.

Ace doesnt cut it here ever.

a scribe is like 4 dollars and very easy, just incise a line and snap it! Before you know it you'll be a pro
