I can't find a cheap source for thick Acrylic in small quantities so I'm looking to buy.
Who has the most affordable one of these? Or are there cheap outlets for the material alone?
Also, what does SF sell this one for?

I had some good luck with Industrial Plastic Supply, 2240 S Dupont, Anaheim, CA. Phone 714-978-3520 or 888-949-1751. They have an online catalog, with prices for various sizes, at
Go straight to the "Price Pages" tab for various sizes (as small as 12X12) in varied thickesses.
Also have a "surplus" store at their location that sometimes has odd sizes for lower $. Give them a try!

Places that do plastic fabrication for signs, retail displays, etc. will often have end cuts they'll sell to you at a reasonable price. sells short sections of clear cast acrylic tube in a wide range of sizes for example, a 12" long section of 4" i.d. round tube costs $24.49

I just noticed that the website for Industrial Plastics has a new phone number: 866-832-9315. Hope this didn't cause any problems!

I have about 10 of the 2" thick X 24"wide X 42" long pieces used in some crash barrier testing.
Each sheet would weigh about 80 lbs.
I have used it in the past on Trophy and Retirement bases for friends after it was cut down and repolished. It will come back line like brand new if you polish it after machining by using a soft flame and a torch.
How much you want? By the way it is "Bullet-proof" Lexan not Plexiglas. You pay the shipping and handling PLUS $2.00/lb.
