I did think that perhaps I would be getting a better result if I used something like blu-tac to lift the perspex off of the metal grill.
Do you find that you get better results from cutting the outline in a number of passes, or by hitting it in one go?
Similar, when I am working on thinner material (1mm) I am finding that the edges are getting a little scortched.
Any guidance, appreciated
