Where do you get the acrylic strip from?
Trotec
https://www.engraving-supplies.ca/Two methods I use:
Make them out of a 12" by 24" sheet of the material (1/8 inch thickness).
Manually: use a 1/8 inch carbide router bit with a fence positioned at 1/4 inch.
Run the sheet the full length which gives a strip 1/4" X 24"
You can of course move the router fence to get whatever width you need.
Since the bit is 1/8" you lose that amount of material when you make the cut

Automatic: I have also used a CAM Tool (CNC) to rout the strips to required width.
During this procedure, a pilot hole is also drilled.
The nuts are "V" scored to 1/16" depth halfway between the pilot holes prior to routing.
Finish the pilot holes on a drill press to the size required for the screws, 2-56, 4-40 or 6-32.
After threading, I complete the "V" scored cut using a table scroll saw with a metal cutting blade, but lately I have just been snapping the threaded nut off the strip.
