As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade.Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring Tape
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End Hook
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC for short, is one of the world's most widely used plastics for its extreme versatility. Most PVC produced goes into building and construction applications such pipe, siding, and window profiles. PVC has a great resistance to oils and a low permeability to gases. It is ideally suited for applications where maximum chemical resistance is necessary. Sheets can be welded to produce tanks, trays and troughs. Packaging is another major market for PVC plastic. Rigid grades are blown into bottles and made into sheet for thermoforming boxes and blister packs.

PVC rod seriously oversize - 1.050" to 1.065" for the 1" (that comes with a 25.4mm label). This is a problem for me as I hoped to use (more accurate) collets, not a 3-jaw chuck, on my lathe for the fabrication I need to do.

I created a PVC bow which does not flex much, but instead the bow gets its power from bungee cords at each end of the string while the PVC keeps it tight. It works like a normal bow, and easy drilling to get knots through the PVC keep the bungees in without breaking loose. Worked well for my unique project.

The PVC sheets were just what I expected. The quality was good, no scratches, packaged well, and the color is true to the image. Average shipping time. Can't speak for customer service as I ordered online. Would certainly and will certainly purchase again.

Quality materials in a timely fashion; the shipping costs are up there, but well worth it for the convenience.
