Plexiglass/Acrylic...

Post by Off-The-Chart »

How do I make holes in plexiglass/acrylic for screws to go into? E.g. like the c-through cases one buys. I think it is called something like self-tapping or something like that.

If you are referring to having tread in the plexiglass I would advise you to make the holes a bit smaller than the screws you are using and then use wood screws instead of metal ones so that they create their own tread. (Screws used for wood not screws made out of wood)
