Cutting Acrylic

[Chris]

Has anyone used the Shark Pro Plus for cutting Acrylic? If so, have you had any problems with the acrylic melting or cracking? Please let me know as I am trying to decide if this will help in the production of an item.

Chris-
Make sure you use "cast" acrylic. I have cut some with good results.

Thanks for the information. Currently using cast, so starting off on the right foot.

Also some really good insights on the Vectric forum - lessons apply to all cnc'rs.
