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).
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) sheet is a versatile, high-performance thermoplastic known for its excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and fatigue resistance. It is recommended for demanding applications where extreme heat, pressure, and chemicals come into play. PEEK has a maximum continuous working temperature of 480°F and is a reliable metal and stainless steel replacement in harsh environments. Robust mechanical and electrical properties allow it to perform effectively while serving as an alternative to metals and specialty materials in applications where weight reduction, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance are priorities. Looking for enhanced structural properties? We also stock Glass-Filled PEEK and Bearing Grade PEEK for specialized high-load wear applications. PEEK is one of the most established high-performance engineering thermoplastics and is engineered to reduce the risk of failure in severe operating conditions. It is the correct choice if your application requires: While both are high-performance plastics capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals, their structural characteristics differ significantly. PEEK is highly machinable but requires attention to thermal management. For high-tolerance components, use carbide or diamond-tipped sharp tooling and flood coolants.
