How to scratch & break:
Clarification: the “score and snap” method can only be used to create controlled breaks in certain plastic materials, such as acrylic, styrene, and construction laminates. Many plastic materials cannot be scored and snapped and must be cut using other means. If in doubt, check with your plastics supplier.
Here’s how scoring a plastic sheet works:
The process is similar as with cutting glass, but with plastic it’s usually okay to make multiple passes with the scoring knife.
All scoring proper knives feature triangular blades with strong points. The flat inside of the pointed blade is mainly used for scoring.
The flat sharpened edges are used for deburring or cleaning up of freshly separated edges.
Retractable plastic scoring knives, such as this Olfa PC-L and PC-S, are a good compromise between rigidity and convenience. Replacement blades are widely available.
