|
A simple cut was observed but the design was intact in the Acrylic.
|
Cut was a little bit deeper but the design did not extract from the wooden ply. Some dark spots were visible on the Acrylic
|
The cut was extracted from the Acrylic with ease
|
Through this dimension also the cut was easily removed from the Acrylic
