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).
Tivar® DrySlide is a specialized, lubricant-filled UHMW-PE sheet designed to tackle the most demanding friction and static challenges in material handling. By directly integrating a proprietary dry lubricant into the polymer matrix, this material delivers a lower coefficient of friction than standard UHMW, helping packages slide more freely without the use of external chute lubes, oils, or waxes. Beyond its slick surface, Tivar® DrySlide is an Electrostatic Dissipative (ESD) material. It actively bleeds off static charges, making it a preferred choice for dusty or humid environments where static build-up can cause product jams or flow disruptions and dust attraction. Need standard FDA-compliant material? For food-contact applications that do not require ESD properties, see our Natural Virgin UHMW. DrySlide is specifically made for environments where surface marring and static cling are unacceptable. It is the premium choice if you need: While both are premium UHMW grades for flow applications, they are engineered for different material-handling challenges. Tivar® DrySlide can be machined using standard tools suitable for UHMW materials. Like all UHMW, it has a high rate of thermal expansion; for precision components, allow for clearance to prevent binding in fluctuating temperatures.
