I am carving signs in acrylic and lighting them up with edge lighting. I am now getting into larger sign that are about 3' x3.5'. I am using a engraver pit with a .005 tip. I'm running at 18000 rpm. and feed rate is .375 a second and .010 deep. This leaves little flakes. When I clean the sign with windex sometimes it drages these little pieces out and scratch the surface. If I make the first cut .005 and the second cut .oo8 it is better. I then blow the letters out with my air gun. Any ideas on how to get a smoother cut. Maybe speeds & feeds? Thanks Richard
