Clear Plastic

[Jerry Thompson]

I lost the cursor for my Unifence. It is an older, 1988, model Delta Unisaw. I am unable to find 1/8th inch plastic that is ridged enough locally. There are so many different types of plastic I am afraid to order online without prior knowledge of suitability. The old style cursor is no longer available. Please advise.

Thank you.

I think mine is made from Lexan (polycarbonate) which isn't brittle like plexiglas acrylic you might buy at Home Depot. I generally buy metals and plastics from Online Metals since they are reliable.

That size is quite inexpensive.

Google says there are 2 plastic fabricators in Jacksonville. Or $13 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Source-Thick-Inches-Acrylic-Plexiglass/dp/B004DYW31I/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=plexiglass+panels&qid=1600966937&sr=8-16

Jerry, maybe I can help. I have plenty of clear acrylic in my sign shop, send me a sketch I might be able to cut it and engrave the cursor for you.

Thanks Keith. I have already ordered some.
