Thanks so much for the video! I cut 5 panels as you demonstrated and it worked great! Appreciate all of the tips. When you mentioned the dust, I cut mine outside in the garage.
Thanks so much! Your method worked the first time I tried. In the past I have cracked and shattered plexiglass. I gave up until I came across your video. Thanks!
They're called: "Acrylic Prismatic Sheets/Lighting Panels." And it may be easier to cut with the "smooth side" up (bumpy side down). I'm liking your "tape the line" trick, though. Nice job! 👍
I’m replacing Mom’s fixture in the kitchen and this is the first video that I have the tools for. Wish me luck, Home Depot only had a couple of these left and they were cracked on one end so i got them half price and I can’t mess up.
The carbide cutters they make for this work very well with a straight edge. you draw it across the plastic as if you are drawing a line! with some pressure it scores it faster than using a saw . snaps clean!!
Mike Kun congratulations, you’re welcome, sorry the video was so long.I had never posted any videos, but I thought it would help people avoid my frustration with trying to cut these.👍🏾
Awesome. I saw the previous suggestion - using a table saw...and that seemed to complicated for me. But I have the Dremel. Not sure if I have the blades...maybe you can do a close-up showing the blade types? Thanks!!
Robert Henry Pike if I can remember, I think I used the thinnest blade. I was in hurry because I was moving but not finding a good way to cut them on you tube I thought my video would help someone. But I’m sure I used the blade with the finest teeth.
It is called a lighting diffuser. There are several videos out there plus if you go to the manufacturer of your diffuser material...they will have installation instructions which includes cutting to fit.
I was moving at the time, and did not have time locate the manufacturer of the light diffuser material. Besides I think they are located out of state. And since Home Depot doesn’t cut it for you, I needed to find a quick and clean way of doing it.
Wow!!!!!! Thank you for this DIY tip
Worked like a dream. Had to make 16 pieces of various sizes
You saved me!!!!!

I like how you trimmed the sheet, clever and doable method for all of us w/o a tablesaw.
Chandler McElroy thank You
So glad to know others have the same bad luck I’ve had trying to cut these things! I have a Dremel and will give this a try.

Thank you. This was a big help for those of us without a workshop. Worked great.

Gordon Barth thank you sir, after ruining a couple I thought this method would work and save people some money. Thank you again for the comment.

An oscillating/multitool works great!

put your tape in the micrcro wave for ten seconds intervals. will fix the glue when it does that!
Thanks so much, I don't have a table saw and everything else I have tried has cracked, splintered and shattered the acrylic. Great video!

correct Rosebud!Plaskolite/ Duralens is most popular rband!

Yea they suggest using an utility knife, but the pressure required creates cracks in no time, dremel is definitely the way.
Excellent. Thanks
Hey guys easiest way is just usr a grainder.
Which bit did you use
I used the circular saw cutting blade.
@@MacFizzer cool
Table saw will do it much quicker. Cleaner cut too.
lozleo i
can I ask what cutting disc you used? thanks.
Skip to 5:20 for those that care.
my sheet was 30$ at home depot lol
southcanprodutions that’s down right robbery 😡
lol...no offense but you have a line and you go off from it constantly. You should use some guide. This is how NOT to cut.
