Which cutting tool on acrylic?

Morning, what cutting tool is best to use on acrylic sheet?

Thank you

Single or 2 flute sharp cutter. Look at APT's website for something that will suit.

definitely recommend single flute, will make your life easier.

single flute "O" flute.

Thank you so much for all the replies, i've got both single and two fluted ones.

Cheers

Also, make sure you use cast rather than extruded acrylic. I find that cast cuts really well and extruded can melt onto the endmill at the same feeds and speeds.

In addition, using a little washing up liquid in water provides an excellent cutting fluid and using a 'climb' cutting direction seems to improve surface finish to the cut edge.
