Advice for cutting acrylic sheet

[A_Camera]

Double sided tape is the solution but make sure it is removable. Also high spindle rpm so that the cutter is cutting and not digging and pushing forward, pulling the sheet up.

Look at NYC CNC's superglue vid on Youtube. Im using that for alu and it works well.

Single flute cutter (preferably an open architecture one), high rpm, compressed air to clear the chips and water spray to keep the cutter cool and stop clagnuts.

Double sided tape is the easiest hold down solution, and if you can cut a pocket in the sacrificial board to fit the acrylic in it stops it moving sideways.

If i cut acrylic i use a straight single fluted bit,it seems to work well and throw chips out the groove better

I cut 3mm acrylic with a 1.5mm single flute spiral, using double faced tape.

I use single flute spiral EM with lots of air for cooling & chip removal, facing cuts give me parts which flame polish (Very carefully) to a good level of transparency.

Hi,

thanks for all your replies. I think i'll try a single flute cutter with my vacuum table, failing that i'll move on to the double sided tape and if that fails i'll crack out the superglue.

Many thanks for your suggestions, it's appreciated, i'll post how I get on.

Cheers.
