Polycarbonate

Cutting, Drilling and Milling

Circular saws, band saws, jig saws and common hacksaws, all with fine toothed panel blades, can be used for trouble free cutting of Polycarbonate sheets. Standard high-speed steel twist drill or carbide tipped drills can be used for drilling holes in this material. Polycarbonate can be machined using conventional milling machines fitted with standard high-speed knife cutting tools. During such operations, these sheets must always be securely clamped to avoid a rough-cut edge by undesirable vibration and the masking should be left on the sheet to prevent surface damage by scratching.
