Hi. will the edges after the cut be smooth enough for use of acrylic glue. I am planning on building a 24x27x9 box.

The edges are clean I use it to cut aluminum and the are razor sharp good tool make small cuts several passes you will be happy

NO! I've used it quite a lot recently. The more I use it, the better the cuts become. It's all about practice. However, the cuts will never be as good as when the acrylic sheet is cut on a table saw, using the correct saw blade and moving the material at the proper speed. For absolutely perfect cuts for gluing, I recommend jointing the work on a router table I usually take the sheet to the router table and trim off 1/16" from the cut.

In my experience, this tool just scores, which you have to do several times and then snap the laminate. You might not get a super crisp edge.

After cutting, use a torch to flame polish the edges. This is a must to do the job you specify. Watch this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmd56UMHDK0

Not entirely,, i use a finr sandpaper o a small torch to smoothen the edges.

Not sure. I use it mainly for windows and doors, never need to glue it afterwards.

I think it would be noticeable. Even if you got it almost perfectly aligned, you'd still see a seam. The larger the area is you are cutting and placing, the harder it is to work with and get straight. I found that smaller sizes are better (easier to apply and to eliminate air bubbles) for things like kitchen cabinets. If you have a big area, you're probably going to want to use chalkboard paint.

In response to your question, I took a heavy cardboard box that had been used to ship produce and tried to cut it. I cut the cardboard into several pieces and it cut smoothly but with a slight resistance (a little more force than with plain paper). Accordingly, within the dimensions of the cutting board and guard, you should have no problems.

You can easily get a piece of acrylic or glass cut at the hardware store. Just make sure you have the exact dimensions, including the thickness of the glass.

In my classes we use the stencil cutter for small curved area, in particular. For long straight lines we use an exacto knife and a steel ruler. So the answer is yes.

sure will,it will bond it together,mine I fixed was a couple inch to close to 2inch cuts and now it kept it from tearing, so if you can get the color right, you should be in business. Not sure how perfect you need it, but you getting the color right should be the biggest issue,GOOD LUCK.

if you are doing SORT RUN FABRICATION and cutting narrow strips to cover and protect generated adhesive backed labels or to attach labels it will work - i have done that on marine instrument panels for hostile conditions and worked well . can be scored and separated . sawn with fine tooth blades attached with fasteners . edges polished with rouge for appearance .lexan brand crack resistant . acrylic will crack too easily when worked . i used as cover plate for protection to keep from peeling labels as adhesives degenerated . hope this helps

The nails are like indented (I guess is the word) so I guess it depends all on the size of the acrylic nail. But the material seems like if you have the right glue, you'll be all good.

The edges are smooth. You could use them without a frame but you would need acid free glue dots to keep the back and front in place and the front of the picture would be unprotected.

I suppose it could be done, it might depend how much it is assembled/disassembled. Gluing certainly give the box more integrity.

I ordered based on the picture that shows smooth edges but, what I received was th "sticked" sides. I don't know if they have corrected that since I ordered mine (several months ago) so, I guess you would be taking a chance. Good luck!

Yes, ironically, on my first project I had to make a box for "mr. pancake" and the one I had was undone on one end. I just used a glue stick but it worked fine. G'luck!

Probably pretty well. I haven't used it on clear acrylic only on a black molybdenum filled nylon. I used it for marking manufacture dates on the parts I made and it worked very well. All in all the tool worked better than I expected.

If everything is square, there should not be a problem. I occasionally use paste wax on top and slides. Everything works smoother, plus lumber slides on saw easier.

I would say so... We did not sew an edge. Don't place the grommets TOO CLOSE to the edge, though. Maybe an inch from the edge ought to be good.

You'll need a really big supply of box cutting blades & a ruler but once you score the tile they do snap easily. The one part I didn't like was they are VERY sticky so if you're careful with the tile placement they'll stay aligned. I hope this helps! &#128522;

You should use a thin CA for finishing. This would be more for gluing the tubes in or bonding two different woods for your blanks.
