Board material - Acrylic / Plexi glass

• There is a wide variety of acrylic from rather soft to very hard
• When routing acrylic, obtaining a smooth/transparent edge requires extra attention
• The wear on the bit is higher than on PVC, but still acceptable
• We advise not to use bits that have been used with other materials
• Summa’s universal bits can route acrylic, however, the edge quality isn’t optimal. (Specialized bit stores have specific bits for Acrylic)

      Standard router:

• Speed (4mm Summa bit): 60mm/sec (Higher speed is possible, but the edge quality is impacted significantly)

• For better edge quality, a lower speed (10-40mm/sec) for the cleaning pass is recommended
• Counterclockwise - (small bit (3mm)–clockwise) The edge quality improves with thicker bit diameters 
• Using a cleaning pass is highly recommended
• Embossing sizeable areas in clear acrylic will not look very good
