SourceOne 1 Sheet - 1/2" Clear Acrylic Sheet Heavy Duty

Piece measures 11 7/8" wide and not 12". I needed a 12 inch piece, hence why I ordered a 12" piece.Secondly it's not even close to square. They much have a monkey with a table saw cutting these up, it's difficult to get 1/8" out of square on a 12" length.The acrylic itself is fine, the cuts are terrible.

The Plexi is good quality and clear, but there is no padding in the shipping box at all. The box was falling apart before I even opened it.Thankfully I am cutting it down and don't need that corner that was damaged. Also, the panel measures 23 7/8 not 24 inches.

Cons:1).The plexiglass sheet I received is actually 11-7/8” to 11-15/16”, as several reviews have stated. It is certainly not 12” square. That didn’t make a huge difference to me other than making for more complex measurement calculations for my intended purposes, but I can see how for some it could create an issue. Know that before buying it.2.) Product does come alone in a cardboard box. Mine did. I didn’t buy any additional items in the purchase, so other items may be combined if more are purchased.3.) While not specifically exclusive to this item alone, this material can be somewhat difficult to cut or drill if the right tools/methods aren’t used. It isn’t obnoxiously hard, but it is dense (if that makes any sense). Sharp cutters and drill bits are a must. Slower speeds will cause chipping, while speeds too high can cause moderate melting. Finding the right tool to modify is essential. Oh, and wear a respirator if cutting or drilling it. Milling this stuff stinks. I don’t think the off gas or sawdust from milling it is harmful, but the odor of the milling process is worth wearing protection alone.Pros:This product is amazing. Too many positives to list numerically. Although I haven’t measured it’s thickness with my calipers, it appears to be spot on at 1/2” thick. It’s super robust and seems to be amazingly strong. It comes with a sticker backed/adhesive backed thick paper film on both sides. This was beneficial for moderate scratch protection prior to use or application, but I found it most helpful for marking with a pencil for alterations, cuts, hole drilling, etc, which is impossible to do with a pencil on the plain plastic, unless you actually scribe and scratch it or use a Sharpie style marker. The crystal clarity of this stuff is out of this world. More clear than ANY actual glass I’ve EVER seen. I’m actually so impressed with this product that I’m trying to think of more things I can use it for to buy more. I made a router base plate with mine and this product was clutch! It was almost like it’s the perfect material, size, and dimensions for this. I couldn’t imagine anything working better.

The sheet arrived in good condition and seems to be high quality. However, the 12" x 12" dimensions are incorrect. It is actually 11 7/8" x 11 7/8". Thankfully, I didn't need exactly 12" x 12" but if someone else does, this will be too small. My guess is that the manufacturer is cutting these pieces from a large sheet and cutting them on the line at 12" x 12" and thereby losing 1 or 2/8" of material in making the cut.

It was for a table top over an old singer sewing machine base. Guests were coming, it was for a serving table, it had to be used. A corner was broken and splintered. While I can have the 4 corners rounded it's an extra time & expense. I hope it works.I do not recommend this item.

Second time getting their 1/2” 12x12, far better at the crafting’s these days, so IOW, I knew how to handle it far far better, proper scigrip 16 application, so much fun! These sheets are very very well made, cutting them is a breeze! It did come with a tiny chip on one corner, wahhhhh oh well, totes didn’t bug me! Stuff rocks! Pics of my copying the Katz Dovetail Jig! 😁

I built a custom table out of old engine parts. I needed a top for it. I thought about casting my own out of epoxy, but it would have cost more and been harder to do. I used my router with a straight cut plunge bit. I cut down about 1/8th inch per pass. I gave it 4 stars because it was not cut straight and it was not 24"x24", as others have stated. None of that mattered to me in this case, but I would have been mad if I needed it to be at least square.

I am using this for a router guide. It's strong, very easy to work with if your bits aren't too fast (I used a drill press) and clear so that you can see your work. Perfectly priced for one-off jobs like this. Not practical if you were looking to do something larger. For that you'd just buy a normal sized sheet and cut accordingly.
