Features
Acrylic drilling involves creating clean, precise holes in acrylic sheets or products using specialized drill bits designed to prevent cracking or chipping. This process ensures smooth, burr-free edges and is essential for assembling or customizing acrylic components.

Applications
Acrylic drilling is commonly used in manufacturing display cases, assembling acrylic furniture, signage, and any application requiring precise hole placement for screws, bolts, or fittings. It’s vital for creating durable and professional-grade assemblies.

Advantages

  • Precision: Ensures accurately placed holes with smooth finishes.
  • Crack Prevention: Specialized tools and techniques reduce the risk of material damage.
  • Versatility: Suitable for various acrylic thicknesses and applications.
  • Professional Finish: Clean edges eliminate the need for additional processing.
 

How It Works
The process begins by marking the exact drilling points on the acrylic sheet or object. A drill with an acrylic-specific bit is then used at controlled speeds to prevent overheating or cracking. The pressure is applied evenly, and the drilling is often done incrementally for thicker materials. This careful approach ensures accuracy and maintains the integrity of the acrylic.
