Acrylic requires a high-spiral bit that ejects the plastic chips fast to prevent melting, which 'galls' the material to the bit, making it ineffective. These acrylic bits also virtually eliminates the other enemy of cutting plastic...melting it and causing it to bind to the cut surface.
If you are going for this bit, you will definitely want the 1/4" acrylic router bit and 1/8" acrylic router bit set to take care of the bigger work.
