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).
Linen LE Phenolic consists of a fine-weave linen fabric and an electrical-grade phenolic resin. A popular choice for applications requiring reliable wear resistance and superior machinability, this material operates with less noise than traditional metal components and does not spark when struck. Linen LE reduces abrasive wear on mating parts and is less abrasive than fiberglass alternatives when used in wear applications. Looking for a grade suited for larger parts? For applications that do not require intricate detailing, we offer Canvas CE Phenolic (a widely used alternative for larger mechanical shapes). Linen LE grade's characteristics make it well suited for precise machining, electrical insulation, and non-sparking applications. It is the correct choice if you need: While both are fabric-reinforced phenolic plastics, they excel in different machining environments. Read Phenolic Material Guide › This material is fabrication-friendly. Thanks to its fine-weave linen fabric and electrical grade phenolic resin construction, Linen LE provides easy machining. It is structurally suited for smaller and more intricate shapes than those typically made with canvas phenolic, allowing for precise milling, drilling, and routing. Cutting, drilling, sanding, or machining phenolic materials can generate dust. Use appropriate PPE, including safety glasses, gloves, and a properly fitted dust mask or respirator, and machine in a well-ventilated area with dust collection where possible.
