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® HPV UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) sheet is an advanced bearing-grade material engineered specifically for extreme wear applications. Formulated with a specialized built-in dry lubricant, it serves as a low-friction, dry-running sliding material that minimizes stick-slip to enhance motion and reduce friction in conveying systems and bearings. Delivering exceptionally low friction among UHMW-PE grades, Tivar® HPV ensures smoother, quieter operations without the need for external lubrication. It provides precise motion control by achieving a near-zero level of stick-slip, eliminating squeaking, chatter, and backsliding issues common in high-pressure production environments. Looking for other UHMW grades? We also stock Natural Virgin UHMW for general purpose applications and Reprocessed UHMW (a lower-cost alternative) for non-FDA requirements. This specialized grade is designed for peak efficiency and safety in high-stress conveyor systems. It is the correct choice if you need: While both offer extreme durability, they are optimized for different friction demands. This material is fabrication-friendly using standard woodworking tools. You can drill, cut, and rout edges with ease. Note that while it machines easily, its high toughness means it does not hold fine threads as well as harder plastics like Nylon or Acetal (Delrin®). Use coarse threads or inserts for best results. [PDF] Tivar® HPV UHMW Spec Sheet Dry-Running Bearing Grade UHMW for Extreme Wear
