I want to cut my extra Store Championship acrylic ruler so I have a Range 1 and Range 2 ruler.

Those of you that have, what was the method that worked for you?

Also, should the Range 1 bit include the white line or exclude it?

Thanks in advance, everyone.

I cut mine with a bandsaw right on the line. Used a razor saw to pre-score it so the cut would be accurate. That left some white on the end of each.

You could try lasers.

A high quality Jeweler's Saw works best. You need an exceptionally fine blade to minimize the reduction in overall length that will occur when you cut a section.

Any saw you use will take away material, and thus it will be shorter than desired. If this sin't a big deal to you then use the thinist saw possible. As an alternative, you may want to score one side and break it. You won't loose any lenghth this way, but you do run a slight risk of it breaking in a place you don't want it to.

scalpel makes tiny cut on top of it, then throw the thing into the refregerator.

when cooled to "husky approoves" level, put it on the table, cut-up.

place any flat object just beneath it, I used a metal engineering ruler.

Slooowly apply pressure till it snaps along the cut.

Lightsaber

Thanks, everyone. Gonna give Warpman's method a shot.

Range ruler is currently sitting with some fruits and vegetables.

Be very careful of kerf, which is a word I just learned in shop class and refers to the amount of material that the saw eats. Really, I'd advise you not to cut rulers ever, just because at least one of the two rulers you get as a product will be too short (even if by a minute amount) and using them might count as cheating (although your opponent would be really unkind to pull out a calipers and measure your rulers).

Sell it on ebay then use the money to buy a 3rd party laser cut one thats exactly the 10cm

Warpman's method worked perfectly.

I scored it as hard as I could with an exacto blade then threw it in the freezer for a few hours.

Bent it with my hands and snapped very cleanly - almost no filing needed.

To get the right length, do you include the white line mark or cut halfway through it?

Cut halfway through.

edit: although I did notice there were differences between my two range rulers.

My advice would be to just measure it against your 5-straight maneuver, which should be the same length as your Range 2.

Absolutely don't do it. If you use any sort of saw or blade you will carve a certain portion away due to the nature of buzz cutting. Both lengths will be shorter by some tenths of a millimeter.

Blail Blerg it'll be fine, the score and break method it looks like he used will mean no material is lost.

Even if an amount were lost it wouldn't matter. Tenths of a mm error is smaller than the variation in the cardboard templates anyway and betwen that and human error even being off by a couple mm would be totally inconsequential too the game.

you could always cut up those cardboard ones from the starterS and give the uncut acrylics away to some newbies for, you know, extra-karma.

teeth........ just think of the fear it will cause in your opponents when the see chunks biller out of your Store Championship acrylics
