Hmmm, interesting this one.
I appreciated the original post re safety gear etc.
Drilling speeds........... I have (very quickly) googled drilling speed for acrylic, nearly everything I find has speeds below 1000 rpm, considerably below. Has anyone actually worked out what the correct SFM should be for the bit size in question ?
Good read here for anyone who cares http://www.tapplastics.com/uploads/pdf/Tech Data-Drilling.pdf
As for colt drills are they specifically ground for acrylic or just for "general" drilling ? Genuine question asked because I don't know.
As for being a member of whatever, I personally have a number of "professional" accreditation's, NOT ONE of them proves I am any good at my job, they only prove I paid someone for a membership.
Independent corroboration is valid to me, not stats from the Manufacturer or a reseller.
Ferrari say some of their cars will do 180 MPH +, they don't say, "don't do it on a public road" though do they ?
Just because something "can" do it, doesn't mean you should do it.
