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).
Black Canvas "CE" grade phenolic sheet is made from a coarse cotton fabric base combined with an electrical-grade phenolic resin. Cotton reinforcement provides this thermoset composite material with high mechanical strength and stiffness, enabling its use for reliable components in electrical applications. Canvas CE is designed to provide physical toughness that withstands abrasion, impact, friction, and material fatigue. At roughly half the weight of aluminum, this composite is also corrosion resistant to most chemicals and substances. Looking for other electrical grade composite options? We also offer Natural Linen LE Phenolic and G-10/FR4 Glass Epoxy. Unlike regular Canvas C grade, Canvas CE is considered an electrical grade material. It is a better choice than Canvas for applications where you need: While both are fabric-reinforced phenolic plastics, they are better suited to different part designs and machining requirements. Black Canvas CE is easy to machine. Its structural integrity allows for the fabrication of complex structural parts without the rapid tool wear associated with glass-filled composites. Fabrication Note: Cutting or machining phenolic may create a noticeable resin-like odor and fine dust. For best results, machine in a well-ventilated area with proper dust collection and appropriate personal protective equipment. Reliable Electrical Grade Thermoset Composite
