Sirs,
I am new to working with acrylic and facing lot of problems trying to drill acrylic rods on lathe-the material is melting like jelly at the drill head and sticking to the flute of the drill. I have tried to reduce speed even down to 100 rpm to reduce heat- but no improvement.
I was using metal drills on clear acrylic rod.
Please , I need some advice how to correctly drill acrylic material.
