You are buying 1 (ONE) NEW 1 1/4" (1.25") DIAMETER by A NOMINAL 6" LONG ROD of BLUE TRANSLUCENT EXTRUDED ACRYLIC. (Actual dimension is 1.25 inch diameter by 5 7/8" inch long). THIS IS CUT FROM A 6 FOOT LONG LENGTH OF ROD. THE SAW BLADE IS 1/8" THICK. THEREFORE 1/8" OF MATERIAL IS LOST DURING THE CUTTING PROCESS. Providing 5 7/8" long rods minimizes waste As you can see from the picture of the rod on the black grid, these rods are translucent. The color of the rods will vary depending on the back round color and light conditions due to being semi-translucent. You are buying and will receive ONE BLUE TRANSLUCENT 1.25" x 6" (5 7/8") long rod. To assure that you get the finest quality, the protective sleeve is kept in place on the rods while being cut to protect the acrylic. All rods have saw cut edges on both ends. Please allow a tolerance of +/- 1/16" on all pieces.
