Getting slate machined & Perspex fabrication

machining

thoughts?

To save having to cut the two end bits make the starting bit a cross and fold the tabs down, you may not even really need to glue the corners. If you don't have a strip heater try asking nicely at your local secondary school. Making things from bent plastic sheet is part of "Resistant Materials" or "Design & Technology".

That depends entirely upon your skill :-)

However, Dave's idea of folding all four sides down sounds good. You may even find that it doesn't cost that much to have one made by a plastic fabricator.

A hand fretsaw eh? That's what I've been doing wrong. A power jigsaw cuts perspex fine except that the cut melts itself together again on the other side of the blade.

It's running too fast?
