As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut OnceSince custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring TapeExtend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End HookThe sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
White Extruded ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) sheet delivers a great balance of structural rigidity and impact resistance with an aesthetically pleasing finish. This versatile thermoplastic maintains its dimensional stability and reliable performance across fluctuating temperatures, making it a staple for both industrial and consumer-facing applications. Combining mechanical toughness with outstanding thermoforming capabilities, White Extruded ABS plastic is well-suited for visible enclosures, retail displays, and environments requiring a bright appearance. Its haircell texture on one side effectively masks fingerprints, minor scratches, and daily wear, allowing finished components to maintain a pristine, professional appearance over time. Looking for extreme precision or tight machining tolerances? We also supply Machine Grade ABS, which undergoes a specialized annealing process to reduce internal stresses for heavy CNC milling and turning. This extruded sheet provides a highly economical solution for visually demanding thermoformed and structural parts. It is the correct choice when your project requires: While both grades feature excellent toughness, their distinct manufacturing methods dictate their best use cases. White Extruded ABS is notably easy to work with - it can be sheared, die-cut, milled, sawed, and drilled utilizing standard woodworking or power tools. It also responds exceptionally well to line bending with standard heat strips. While standard machining is possible, applications demanding precision tolerances should instead use Machine Grade ABS.
