It is good stuff, but as for bending it cold, one needs a big brake. I do
not personally have that. So, to bend it I heat it up.

Ayup. That's what they use for bullet-resistant windows.

AFAIK Lexan is specifically designed for tough impact conditions, like a
window on a machining centre, so no, it wont shatter.

I did an experiment. I took a 1/4" thick piece of junk Lexan, and beat it
with a steel bar. The Lexan piece would not shatter. It is supposed to be
bendable cold, but I do not have the facilities to do this.
I bend mine with a gas torch. I learned how to be careful with the torch, to
avoid most su
Plexiglas does shatter... I have first hand experience with that.
I thought thermoforming was required of Lexan also, otherwise I would
have bending Lexan years ago! :-)
That is a huge advantage.

It does make logical sense but all of the websites ( I found ) say that
heat is required to bend polycarbonate.
Perhaps they are confusing Lexan with Plexiglass...

Much simpler.

How thick of Lexan are you talking about?
Can you do a full 90 degree bend in a brake?

Get the clear silicone. Same as they use in cement plants and bathrooms

Cool! I'll give that a try the next time I have to bend lexan. Thanks!

We used to make metal guards for our pallet lift and spin machines but
the techs at the factory would throw them away and just bend some out of
lexan so they could see better... so we quit supplying the metal guards
to them and that is where we learned about bending lexan.

No cracking at all with lexan and as with all bending there is a bit of

Interesting. Much spring back or "crackling" of the lexan in the bend?

Nope, we just throw it up in the brake and bend away... real tough stuff.

Coolant gutters / supports under the edges of the lift-out part might
be nice too. (though I guess that with any surround that has an open

Great price on that Lexan, wow!
I got a good deal on the mill though. This thing cost me $5 ($500
originally, but I sold unwanted control parts for $495).

This one is much bigger than my old one. It is made of 1/4"
polycarbonate, glued and the front piece locks in place, by
interlocking with sides (see pictures).
