can I cut a 120mm hole in acrylic glass of my computer case??

I don't believe this will work, as Steve_in_Austin stated the size is not really a problem and the cutter works well on wood. My concern with acrylic is the likelihood that the stress caused by the blade and the drill motor will cause the acrylic glass to crack or possibly shatter. I don't think you want that outcome. Have you thought of using something like this General Tools & Instruments 450-6 Flat Leg Divider, 6-Inches and then just taking your time to slowly scribe through the acrylic?

Yes it will cut Acrylic well. You can also skip the pilot drill if you don't wan the hole in the middle of the cut out disc, as long as you have the work securely clamped in a drill press and backed up with a piece of scrap. Use a slow speed and feed and spray with water as a coolant.

I have successfully cut both 1/4" and 1/8" thick acrylic with this cutter. Your drill press should be set to it's lowest speed, and the cutter advanced into the work as slowly as possible. If you have the material available, sandwich the acrylic between a piece if 1/4" plywood, mdf or similar materiel on top with a thicker backer board of the same or similar material on the bottom. Clamp the sandwich assembly to the drill press table. The sandwich will help flatten the acrylic if it is warped, and lessen the possibility edge fracture from the cutter. Progressively finer grits of sandpaper may be used to dress up the edges of the cut. I have successfully cut both 1/4" and 1/8" thick acrylic with this cutter.

The size will be no problem... The center bit is just a regular steel drill bit so I'd try a regular bit on the acrylic first. Then it will be a question of whether the cutter will cut the glass. I'd guess so... You know for sure you HAVE to use this in a drill press...?

The holes for the components are 2" in diameter. But, since the back is press paper, you could cut the holes wider if you wanted.

amazon asked me to reply... but thses are very hard to cut and very small. if you poke a hole in it the desing will be cut out so i dont think you can. it is used for nail art using nail glue and toothpick.

You would need to make your own. I had a plastics place in town cut two sheets of 1/8" acrylic. If you did that you could either paint one side of the acrylic white, or put a large sheet of white paper behind the acrylic so your writing stands out.

If you can precisely cut glass, there is no reason this wouldn't work. The integrity of the glass may be compromised however.

My quick answer is probably not....this little drill press doesn't have a lot of power, but I'm not familiar with drilling any kind of glass. I suppose with the right bit it's possible but I suspect even the slowest speed available on it might be too fast for glass. It's not a big investment tool-wise so it might be worth the try. I've been using this a lot for my wood items, many thousands of holes drilled at this point and it's holding up just fine. Hope this helps, good luck!

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

I cannot see that the strip can be bent at a true 90 with some radius to the bend. No, it cannot be cut and soldered, only cut to desired length. Plan on some radius...probably about 1"?

Its like a craft project, you will need a case and some e-6000 glue. Enjoy!

There are 4 hole in the back of monitor. Looks like you can screw in. But 5mm. Not 1cm diameter hole.

Yes, I used this a bit ago to repair the t100ta-b1-gr for my aunt. Remember to use heat to remove the original glue around the broken glass, otherwise it breaks into imperceptibly small shards that will haunt you for weeks. I'm not joking - you'll find the little shards when you least expect it, or when is least convenient. No additional tools were supplied despite the advertisement in my case.

It will cut most any acrylic. Beyond 1/4" thick you will need to make several passes and have a table edge to snap. Hold the cut at the edge of the table and apply even pressure to the part hanging over the edge to break.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. Yes, you should be able to cut it to fit.

In rhe middle there is a large passthru for the computer area there is some perferations in the cardboard panels....cuts with a utility knife easily. I have cut both upper side shelve areas as well for other devices.

I'm Sure, if you have a professional do the work, but I'm afraid to do that because I would not install regular glass. Very dangerous just plain glass. Hope that helped you,.

You could use a butter knife, but the resulting jagged edges would ruin the aesthetic you are trying to achieve by using a designer product such as this.
