I'll be buying another sheet of plexiglass because 60" does not equal 68".
Sometimes you need to measure three times before cutting.

Sometimes I have to take shoes off to count to 20.

Scale everything else down a bit & tell the customer "It's the new compact model"
Don't know about your side of the pond Randall but over here acrylic prices have started to return to a more normal level, what thickness was it? How much it hurts depends on the acrylic thickness, on the bright side you now have some extra stock

My lyin' eyes.Did someone lie to you?
The tape measure was in the wrong part of my bifocal so 68 looked like 60. It doesn't matter how accurate your machine is if you enter the wrong number.
My board stretcher doesn't work on plexiglass.
