How to make square cavity in ABS plastic sheet

This post is talking about how to make a square cavity cut in thick ABS plastic sheet (or any soft plastic sheet like HIPS). In my case it was 5 mm thick ABS sheet. I needed this when I was trying to make a fixture for a Peltier cooler 40 mm x 40 mm. The tools you will need are almost available at home:

1. Stainless steel ruler
2. Rigid blade cutter
3. Cup saw bit
4. Electric drill
5. Lineman plier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineman%27s_pliers)

 Just follow the instructions on the image below.

  2. The 1x4 ABS plastic sheet 4x8 is incredibly durable and versatile, making it perfect for a variety of DIY and industrial projects. I used the ABS Plastic Sheet for a custom fabrication job, and it was easy to cut, shape, and drill without cracking. Its smooth surface also takes paint well, which was a bonus for my design. I highly recommend the ABS Plastic Sheet to anyone needing a reliable, high-quality material for long-lasting applications. Great value for the price!
