About Polycarbonate|A transparent engineering thermoplastic with exceptional impact resistance, essentially unbreakable in normal use. Optically clear. Used for machine guards, sight glasses, protective shields, and transparent enclosures. Machines well with sharp tools at moderate speeds. Use coolant to avoid surface hazing from heat. Don't use ammonia-based coolants. Polycarbonate is sensitive to stress cracking from certain chemicals. Compare to Acrylic (optically clearer but brittle) and PETG (cheaper, good clarity, less impact resistant).

About Round Tube|Hollow cylindrical stock for sleeves, bushings, spacers, and hydraulic cylinders. DOM (drawn over mandrel) tubing machines well and holds tight tolerances. Welded-seam structural tube is for cutting and welding, not precision work.
