3 Amazing tools for cutting acrylic sheets without cracking or breaking

Описание: With this video you will learn how to cut different thicknesses of acrylic or plexiglass sheets by hand, using amazing tools that are effective, safe, and won't break, crack or chip the sheets, something very common when trying to use different kinds of saws.
Different thicknesses of acrylics or plexiglass require different tools for cutting them with precision and without damaging the acrylic or plexiglass. If you can't afford a laser cutter this is the video for you.
Both "acrylic" and "plexiglass" refer to the same type of material.
Plexiglas was originally a registered trademark of the German company Röhm GmbH, which developed the acrylic material (PMMA) in the 1930s.
Over time, people began informally calling it "plexiglass" (with two "s") as a generic term, especially in English-speaking countries.
The name Plexiglass is more commonly used in the US, while in the UK it’s rarely used. In the UK the most common term is Acrylic, although the use of the term Perspex, a UK brand, is also used often.

If you find the background music too high, you must know I can't change that without deleting this video, something I can't do. So, you can turn the volume down or mute it, and turn on the subtitles. In any case, by 1:00 the music is less intrusive.

Gloves: rubber, leather, cut resistant or heat resistant, depending on the potential hazard.
Clothes and shoes: appropriate for the type of work and environment.
Respirator: with filters appropriate for the potential hazard.
Goggles: to protect eyes from flying particles.
Face shields: if impacts can burn, injure or infect the face.
Welding glasses or shields: to protect eyes from welding arcs
Earmuffs or ear plugs: when using power tools or any equipment exceeding 60 db.

Although regulations can vary between countries, and even within countries (USA), the following is a good reference: Regulation (EU) 2016/425 of the European Parliament
