00:00If you build jigs, fixtures, or any kind of workholding setup, you already know the struggle,
00:05finding UHMW sheet that's flat, slick, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
00:10Well, I went down the rabbit hole and found the 5 best deals out there right now,
00:14and some of these are absolute steals. Let's get into it.
00:18First up, the Axel UHMW sheet, 6.1 x 12 inches at 0.12 inches thick and white.
00:25This one's the crowd favorite, and honestly, it's easy to see why, over 4,600 sold and a perfect 5
00:32-star
00:32rating. It's the thicker of the two Axel options, so it holds up great for sacrificial fixture plates
00:38and wear strips where you need a little more meat. At just $10.45, it's a no-brainer for anyone
00:45building their first fixture setup. If you want the most proven pick on this list, start here.
00:51Next, we've got a bigger dog, the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheet, the UHMW
00:57PE board built for wear, impact, and abrasion resistance. This one's for the heavy-duty
01:02crowd. It's priced at $72.48, so yeah, it's the premium option here, but with over 4,100 sold and
01:10a solid 4.5 stars, people are clearly getting their money's worth. If you're running a production
01:16shop where your fixtures take a beating day after day, this board will outlast the cheap
01:20stuff and save you money long-term in replacements. Third on the list, we're back to Axel with their
01:266.1 by 12-inch sheet at 0.08 inches thick, also in white. This is the thin version of
01:32our number
01:32one pick, and at only $6.70, it's the budget champion of the group, with a 4.8 rating and
01:39over
01:394,100 sold. The thinner profile is perfect for low-clearance jigs, drawer slides, and liners
01:45where you don't want to shim anything. If you're doing smaller projects or just want to stock up
01:50on material without breaking the bank, grab a couple of these. Fourth, something a little
01:56different, this nylon PA-6 extruded sheet, and it comes in basically every thickness you could want,
02:01from 3mm all the way up to 50. Starting at just $0.54, this is your go-to when you
02:07need to test a
02:08design or you only need a small piece. It's rated 4.8 stars with nearly 2,000 sold,
02:14so folks are happy. Now, quick heads up, this is nylon, not UHMW, so it's less slick but tougher
02:21and more machinable, which makes it a great companion material for fixture builds. At under a buck,
02:27why not try it? And last but not least, the Axel 12 by 12-inch black UHMW sheet,
02:33sold as a 2-pack for $20.33. This is the biggest footprint on the list, so if you need
02:39a full-size
02:40fixture plate or a large sliding surface, this covers it. The black color is a nice touch too,
02:46since it hides scuffs and looks sharp in a shop setting. Fair warning, it's sitting at 3.5 stars,
02:52so quality control can be a bit hit or miss, but with over 1,800 sold, plenty of people are
02:57making
02:58it work. If you want maximum size for the price, this is your pick. Alright, that's the roundup.
