Description
OPTIX Plastic Sheet Cutter is a specialized scoring tool designed specifically for cutting acrylic, polycarbonate, and other plastic sheets with precision. This heavy-duty cutter features a double-bevel scoring edge that creates clean, consistent score lines for snap-cutting plastic materials. The ergonomically designed handle provides a comfortable, firm grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use, making it easy to achieve straight, professional cuts.
ShapesPlastics' Plastic Sheet Cutter 10-pack is perfect for contractors, fabrication shops, or anyone working with multiple plastic sheet projects. Simply score the plastic sheet along a straightedge, then snap cleanly along the scored line. Works on OPTIX acrylic, LEXAN polycarbonate, PETG, and other thermoplastic sheets up to 1/4" thick. This score-and-snap method is faster and cleaner than power saws for straight cuts, with no dust or chips. The 10-pack ensures you always have cutters on hand or can outfit your entire team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use a plastic sheet cutter?
Place a straightedge (like a metal ruler or level) along your cut line. Hold it firmly and draw the plastic sheet cutter along the edge multiple times with moderate pressure, deepening the score line with each pass. For best results, score 3-5 times until the groove is about 1/3 to 1/2 the sheet thickness. Then position the score line over a table edge and snap downward for a clean break.
What thickness of plastic can this cutter handle?
The OPTIX plastic sheet cutter works best on acrylic and polycarbonate sheets up to 1/4" (6mm) thick. Thinner sheets (1/8" or less) score and snap very easily. For sheets over 1/4" thick, multiple scoring passes are needed and results may vary. For very thick materials (over 1/4"), consider using power saws instead.
Why buy a 10-pack instead of a single cutter?
The 10-pack offers excellent value for fabrication shops, contractors, or anyone doing multiple projects. Having extras ensures you're never without a cutter when blades wear down. Perfect for outfitting multiple workstations or team members, keeping spares in different locations, or simply having backups for high-volume cutting operations.
Can I use this on materials other than plastic sheets?
This cutter is specifically designed for thermoplastic sheets like acrylic, polycarbonate, and PETG. It's not recommended for glass, metal, wood, or other materials. The double-bevel scoring edge is optimized for the hardness and properties of plastic sheets. Using it on other materials may damage the cutting edge or produce poor results.
