  1. I wanted to cut acrylic glass with my CNC but it gummed up very quickly. As I've read it's recommended to actively cool the cutting head with air or water to prevent that. With my machine it's practically impossible to cut acrylic glass with a cutting bit of 1mm diameter. I have to switch to a bit with a diameter bigger than 2mm with 1 flute to create big chips in order to get as much heat away as possible, and I have to crank up the cutting speed high (about 600mm/min) and use a very shallow cutting depth per pass (below 1mm). It's already late and I don't want to disturb my neighbors.
