I'm guessing that is a test rig martink1974, it looks like acrylic, if it is it will be a bit brittle, I have a laser hear and would love to make the hole thing in clear acrylic, it would look cool, but the way I keep crashing it wouldn't last long.

hi

  been tidying workshop / kitchen :)

im getting there with it been busy last few days

its not acrylic it is polycarbonate i got load of sample sheets of stuff to play with , when i built the big one i liked the aluminuim composite cos it was so ridged but after testing stuff i got, that polycarbonate clear stuff is strong stuff, its amazed me when trying to destroy pieces :)

when i get design 100% id love to get some cut out perfect

will look sweet when done :)

[g.collins]

polycarbonate is tuff stuff you will be OK with that then, I cant cut polycarbonate on a laser, it wrecks the laser, I could cut it on the CNC, I will be watching this one with interest.
