How to Cut 5mm Perspex Sheet
Cutting a 5mm Perspex sheet is relatively easy and suitable for both DIY and professional use. Here are the best cutting methods:
- Laser Cutting – Delivers clean, polished edges and is ideal for detailed designs or signage.
- Table Saw / Circular Saw – Use a fine-tooth blade designed for plastics. Cut slowly to prevent melting or chipping.
- Jigsaw – Good for curves or irregular shapes. Use a plastic-cutting blade and secure the sheet to reduce vibration.
- Scoring & Snapping – Possible with 5mm sheets, but only for short, straight cuts. Use a sharp acrylic scorer and snap over a hard edge.
- CNC Router – Best for precision work, especially for repeated or complex shapes.
Conclusion
The 5mm Perspex sheet offers outstanding light transmission, strength, weather resistance, and versatility. As a safe and stylish alternative to glass, it is ideal for a wide range of applications—from commercial signage to interior design and custom creative work. Whether you’re a designer, builder, manufacturer, or hobbyist, this material offers both performance and aesthetics.
