Hello,
My dad does some woodwork and since he had the tools I figured I'd give acrylic a try. I've just been doing some frag racks but am wanting to get into making smaller tanks and am at a standstill as of now. I can't seem to be getting a perfect edge. When I'm done it feels smooth but I can see some very micro dips in the edge and am trying to perfect this. Also, sometimes there's looks to be like a small streak/line in the middle of the acrylic, almost looks like if that section didn't get routed. I'm using a Kreg router table and routing against the stock fence. Router is a DeWalt DW618 with a WhiteSide 1/4'' upcut spiral flush trim bit (RFT2100). Can you take a look a the pictures and let me know what I"m doing wrong? I've tried different feed speed but they are coming out the same. The router is running at a 3 setting which according to the DeWalt manual is 14,000 rpm. Thanks in advance!
