Therefore, PG acrylic reminds you to pay attention to the following matters when cutting acrylic sheets.
First of all, the material characteristics of the acrylic plate should be considered before cutting, and the hardness, toughness and thickness of the acrylic plate will affect the cutting quality and efficiency. Harder acrylic sheets require the use of more powerful cutting tools and techniques, while thinner or softer acrylic sheets can use finer cutting tools and techniques.
Secondly, according to the selection of the right cutting tool: according to the above factors, choose the right cutting tool. Manual cutting tools are suitable for small-scale and simple cutting tasks, mechanical cutting tools are suitable for large-scale and complex cutting tasks, and non-destructive cutting tools are suitable for high-precision and high-quality cutting tasks.
Keep tools clean and sharp: Ensuring that cutting tools are clean and sharp before and after use will help improve cutting quality and efficiency. Check and replace parts of cutting tools such as blades or plasma arc nozzles regularly to ensure that they are working properly.
The following points also need to be noted when cutting:
The first cutting speed and strength: cutting speed too fast may lead to the tool stuck or acrylic plate fracture, and cutting force is too large, it is easy to cause the uneven cutting line. Therefore, the appropriate speed and force should be maintained when cutting to ensure the quality of the cutting line.
Second, pay attention to the direction of cutting. If it is a sound screen acrylic plate or reinforced acrylic plate, with a certain fiber direction, when cutting should be as vertical as possible with the fiber direction, to avoid cutting the fiber, affecting the strength and stability of the acrylic plate.
The third is to pay attention to the sharpness of the saw blade, when cutting the acrylic plate, to ensure that the saw blade is sharp, to avoid melting or producing cracks, bursts and other problems.
