I've got several questions in mind regarding tools (different ones) to use with ABS Plastic/Plexiglass/Acrylic. First off --
what type of router bit should I use in working with this material?
TIA

Re: Tools and ABS/Plexi/etc.
I've used carbide bits with plexiglass, acetal and PVC.
Re: Tools and ABS/Plexi/etc.
ok thanks.
apart from a jig-saw what could a DIYer use to cut designs within an acrylic sheet? TIA

Re: Tools and ABS/Plexi/etc.
Assuming you use a jigsaw because there lots of curves, a small bandsaw or a scroll saw are alternatives. If you just want to cut straight any fine tooth saw should do.
Re: Tools and ABS/Plexi/etc.
yup, I'm looking at plenty of curves, say like logos, or letters, etc. hmm, I don't think these bandsaws/scrollsaws are feasible at the moment... 🙁
anyway, thanks for the reply again.
