Blade for cutting acrylic

[HwlngMdMurdoch]

I bought the Rockwell Bladerunner x2, and it works pretty well for cutting wood blanks. Now, I'm looking into being able to cut acrylic ones as well.
The Bladerunner takes t-shank blades (4"), is there a specific blade I need for cutting the acrylic? I've been Googling, but I'm getting a definitive answer(unless I'm totally missing it).
Oh, and drilling, any tips in that department as well?
Thanks in advance!

I believe the 10 TPI HCS blade they make for the Bladerunner would be your best bet. It is basically a hard mounted jigsaw.

Any metal cutting blade would work well. I often use a metal cutting blade on my bandsaw for cutting acrylics as well as metals.

Thank you, I'll have to check into that.

And the Bladerunner came with metal blades(plus I bought and extra assortment), so going to give that a go. Bought extra acrylic blanks just in case of f-ups lol

Bosch makes specific blades for plastic. I've tried them and work great on plastic. They are available on Amazon for sure.
