In my last video i showed you how to cut a window out of steel, so in this video I'm going to show you how to cut the acrylic to put in the new window you cut out!

Make sure you use something similar to a dremel so it does not chip the material. I used a high speed air cut off tool which spins fast enough to just melt it so nothing gets tore up. Feel free to comment further suggestions. Please subscribe to my videos

  • How about learn to use a ruler, you know that thing you use in school

  • Start with some painters tape, add two layers when cutting plexi or metal to keep it from chipping and cracking.

    Second use a T-Square for straight lines on larger pieces.

    Also use a file or a sanding wheel to smooth out cuts on metal and plexi for a professional look.

    Wear safety goggles and learn more modding tips by looking up the keywords MNPCTech or WestCoastMods. Both great places to learn from. It has helped me be a better modder.

  • Wtf you ever hear off a striaght edge..

  • He used his teeth to cut the case

  • 5:28 ....... FAIL XD

  • If I'm not mistaken plexiglass, lucite, perspex and acrylic are the same material. Polymethyl methacrylate according to wiki

  • Thanks, you have inspired me not to install a plexi side panel. Good luck with future projects

  • Just use glass. I am doing it.

    I just bought glass drills and went for it. No scratching, nice and shiny. Fragile yes, but no more than what would ruin plexi.

    If the sidepanel will not take the weight weld on some braces.
