Cool, I didn't know you can get plexiglass at Home Depot. What department do they shelve it?

Plexi lasers beautifully, but it damn it stinks! Can't be healthy to breathe that stuff in.

I like that smell, there are far worse smelling materials to laser! Yesterday I did some poplar and it smelled pretty nice.

The borg plexiglas is likely to be extruded, not cast, so will cut nicely but not engrave as well.

This is a quick need on the plexiglass. Home Depot has it in 1/8 and 1/4 inches on the same isle as screen doors.

Thanks Eric

You'd think after all the hours I spent aimlessly browsing HD, I would have found the plexi by now? Good to know they have it, that will save me time.

The knowledge on this forum is wide and deep. :)

Thanks again!

When you get the time, find a supplier. Prices on plexi at the Borg are expensive.

I agree. If I can order it, I will. But, this was a last minute and my customer has deep pockets.
