    Acrylic machining edge finish…

    I’m trying to edge finish some acrylic and running into artifacts as opposed to a nice smooth finish. I’m running @18K with an .250 oflute bit cutting conventional @120ipm.

    Has anyone any experience and might know what is causing the problem as seen in the pics?

    Thanks for any input.
