I have had reasonable results using lots of air to clear chips and WD40 or Fixt spray to keep the cutter lubricated and cool. A sharp carbide single flute cutter with open architecture (lots of space in the spiral, to allow chips to get out of the way) helps. You also need to make chips that take the heat away, not rub the plastic.
