Hello!
I am trying to cut shallow bevels in acrylic. That is nearly a perpendicular cut, between 2 and 10 degree angles.
Does anyone have a bit that they like for this? We thought we'd start with 3 degrees.
Thinking of trying this one:

and there's this:

And Amana:

and Onsrud:

These vary in price from $45 to $140 and it is very difficult to know what would work best.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to spindle speed or feederates for this kind of cutting?
Also, the Amana listing has 1/32" angled bits on there. We don't even have a collet for our shopbot that will hold less than 1/4". Does anyone run 1/8", 1/16", or 1/32" bits? Don't they snap all the time?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
We posted a while ago when we were looking for a variable angle bit. This seems like a better way to go.
