Hello,
I know this is not specifically metal related, but we have some acrylic rod that we are trying to machine using a lathe. The problem with acrylic is that it melts as the bit is cutting into it. We have tried various speeds, with little effort. Would it help to keep the material cool using a water spray or some other means? Is there a particular bit/material that is good to use?
Thanks for any ideas or pointers.
Mike
