thanks for the info... just bought it this afternoon RM19... still need to work on my cutting skill hehehe some i cut until my hand lari and scratched the acrylic

post some pix of the cutter will yah.... and where did u get it ??

U r most wc. Hehe...dats biasa lah. Try a few times & u can master it ready.

* Tips: Use the front point to draw a line 1st. Only then use the rear one 2 drag it.

Can get @ most hardware shops dude. Just ask for 'Plastic Cutter'.

Since it can cut acrylic.... can it also cut round shape (albeit difficult)?

For thin acrylic (2mm) you can use the cutter. For thicker acrylic it's difficult to get a neat cut without power tools - jig or rotary saw. For circular cuts: you need a rotary tool or a drill/jig combination - drill a hole to insert the jig and with the jig on a slow speed ( to prevent the acrylic from excessive vibration) run the jigsaw around your pencilled circle.

A steady hand is also required.

thanx for the reply...

that are the 2 things I dont have...

1. rotary saw and

2. steady hands.... ( always have problem drawing a straight line freehand )


Anyway, since I only need to cut a hole for the acrylic, and a hole does not need to be circular, I might cut to pix below using the cutter... that means getting a 2mm acrylic for the sidepanel....




Well, not really into doing it right now although I certainly have the time...

Yeah

A vry gd xplanation indeed

mine i dont know can cut round or not cost it seems to have weird angles of blades stickin out... Tajima brand... yellow color, with extra opening at the back of the handle for 2 extra blades.

Btw, can i post my hamster's big-a$$ 70cm acrylic case on Case Mod when i finished it? its in progress, approximately another 2-3 days to finish...

Sure can lah

And yeah...post it so dat others can also knw wht u've done. Hehe

well cant really post the progress cos i don have a digicam, and my phone's cam really sux0r...

btw... any idea how to remove extra silicone glue on the acrylic? looks hideous with those rough semi transparent patches... yuck

Try alcohol or thinner. Hope can do da work 4 u.

can use thinner on acrylic?

the tank's almost done, hopefully tmr all can go in and then just wiat for it to dry... thanks to ppl who teach me stuff about acrylic.. when the pix is up in Pets Wonderland (Hamster thread) you'll see a lot of "frosted" acrylic cos i sandpapered the edges it

Can lah'...used myself b4.

Hehe...besalah need sanding.

And u r always wc. Wht's da point if v dont share wht v knw w/ others rite?

good la bombman, unlike some forumers stingy one... hahaha.. i post the pix (the plastic cutter here n the tank in Pets Wonderland > Hamster thread) after i find a digicam.. need 2 more days to dry..

Haha...let 'em b stingy lah. Who cares rite?
Btw, try usin' Sellery brand blades for ur cutter if da stock one is not gd (usually the tip breaks easily)

mine the tip never breaks, one blade lasts me thru out the whole tank building process
