    I used a plexiglass jig saw blade and it cut perfectly. Drilled holes just fine. My wooden drinko plinko game came out perfect!

    I used this to make an aquarium divider as it was cheaper to buy this than an actual divider and I could make the holes the sizes I deemed correct. It comes with a plastic film on both sides to protect it. Once the plastic film is removed it is crystal clear. The plastic seems strong but also thin enough you can score it with an exacto knife and snap it to break pieces off. Drilling through it with a your standard drill bits is tough and time consuming just be warned, though i found out after drill about 60 holes that using a wood paddle bit cuts it like butter *bangs head on wall* so learn from me, If you need to drill it use a paddle bit. Overall, pretty content with this purchase.

    It is what I was looking for to put on top of my fist tank. I have not attempted to cut the material to fit the area. The thickness, the clear vision through the glass material and obviously the price, especially for what I need it to do.

    In reviews of this product quite a number of persons commented that this plastic sheet was easy to cut -- My reply: What were they using to cut it--a band saw? I tried a new #11 X-Acto blade; then a utility knife with a heavy-duty blade; then a heavy-bladed paring knife honed to a razors edge--I can cut through chicken bones with this knife with hardly any effort. I finally had to resort to heavy kitchen shears that go through plastic blister pack material like butter -- I still wound up with an uneven line that had to be sanded straight. Perhaps other reviewers were mentally comparing this to sheet metal or quarter-inch Lexan? Unless you have the strength of 2 men or access to industrial grade cutting tools, do not buy this thinking it can be cut easily using standard hobbyist tools. If you need this product regardless of relative cutability, please consider also purchasing a thin kerf saw to go with it. It is a good quality product / Most persons will not find it easy to cut -- Honest!

    I loved the flexibility of the polycarbonate. It is not brittle and bends easily. I was using it for an art project and it was a better choice than rigid acrylic. However, it is difficult to cut to size with Exacto knife blades. It is easier if you are cutting a large piece. You can score with the blades and snap it apart with weight on one side. However, I just needed to trim less than half an inch the 18-inch length of the piece. Very difficult to score and snap. So, I would recommend a band saw to cut small pieces.

    It was a perfect fit for what I needed not to thick and not expensive compare to lowes and home depot.

    Its a little bigger than I expected. I got it for a frame I have since the glass broke and I had to trim a little bit off, about a courter of an inch. On the bright side its sturdy and made of a good material.

    I have to cut the material into windows that I ship out with products I 3d print. Unlike other sources, the backing comes off the plastic too easily. It started coming off just by cutting it with a miter saw. I now have to bag the window rather then leaving it just as is.

    Packaged with care but the protective film was not adhered well on part of the item.

Polycarbonate is a superior clear plastic sheet compared to Plexiglass/Acrylic
Sheets can easily be cut, milled, and drilled with any standard tools (hacksaw, jigsaw, snips for thin sheets, standard drill bit, etc.) without the cracking or fracturing you would find in Plexiglass. Additionally, Polycarbonate can be bent neatly. Thin sheets can be bent cold with sheet metal techniques, while thicker ones are easy to shape with the help of a heat gun. It is also perfect for thermoforming or vacuum forming. This makes Polycarb perfect for both DIY and professional projects around the home, shop, or for manufacturing.

Shatter Resistant & Strong
Polycarbonate has great mechanical properties, making it often considered as a safer option than glass sheets or acrylic sheets. Tensile Stress: 63 MPa. Flexural Stress: 90 MPa. Rockwell Hardness, R: 120

High Optical Clarity
Light transmission of 88-90%, tested at 2.54mm thickness per ASTM D1003

Electrical Resistivity
Volume Resistivity: > 1.0E15 Ohm-cm

Protective Film on BOTH SIDES
This product is shipped with a thin protective film on both sides. Please peel this off to expose the clear sheet. You can mark onto this film while working with the material, then remove it to expose a pristine surface.
