You have to know how to use a drill press. I've drilled just about
everything. Some material you need a pilot hole and others you will be
better off with out.

Vinnie,
Lexan (polycarbonate) is easy to work with for cutting and drilling.
LUCITE (acrylic) will tend to melt when drilling.

Hello

I'm in the process of rebuilding my flat primary and I want make or
purchase some
stand off spacers. Does anyone have an tips on constuction and materials?
I see alot of use of lexan and polyethylene. I want to stay away from
the PVC pipe
unless there is a way to make it look nice without several wire ties
to afix the copper
tubing. I'm kinda limited on tools. I don't have access to a drill
press but I have the
standard power drill and router. I'm concerned about the speed of the
tools actually melting
the plastic as well. Any help would be apprieciated.

Thanks for your time.

Vinnie
