Size and fit Length: 19.6 inches / 500 mm Available diameters: 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm Material and performance Made from acrylic (plastic) round rod: lightweight, tough, and highly clear for excellent optical quality. Offers strong weatherability, good tensile strength, and long-term dimensional stability. The product is also described as a clear round rod with high impact-resistant polycarbonate characteristics and easy processing — combining clarity with durability. Why this rod solves common problems Clear, consistent appearance makes it ideal when optical clarity is required (scale models, displays, light guides). Durable and weather-resistant for indoor and outdoor use. Easy to cut, shape and finish with common tools so you can produce precise parts quickly. Processing and compatibility Can be cut with a hacksaw or pipe cutter for quick trimming. Machine-friendly: suitable for drilling, lathe turning, perforating, polishing and sandblasting. Stable processing performance allows predictable results in DIY and professional workflows. Practical applications (use scenarios) Architectural model making and scale models: precise clear supports, columns, or detail elements. DIY projects and prototypes: stiff, clear rods for frames, connectors, or visual elements. Displays and signage: supports, spacers or light-transmitting components where clarity and strength matter. Key advantages at a glance Exact sizing: 500 mm length with multiple diameter options to fit your design requirements. Versatile machining: easy to cut, polish and finish with common tools. Durable clarity: excellent visual quality plus weather and impact resistance for many environments. Notes and handling tips For clean cuts, use a fine-toothed saw and secure the rod during cutting. Deburr before polishing. When polishing, follow recommended acrylic/PMMA polishing procedures for best optical finish. Verify compatibility with adhesives and solvents before use in assemblies. This clear acrylic round rod is designed for reliable, easy use in model making, DIY, prototyping and display applications where clarity, strength and machinability are required.
