<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2557642, member: 1892"]Um, you have to find the custom-cut acrylic in the mirror. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Acrylic wants to be <i>scored</i> rather than <i>drilled</i>; I've found best success using a hole saw <b>backwards</b> (less likely to dig in) at a very low rotational speed. When I did this in the sign industry, I had a metal plate as a jig with a hole in it the size of the holesaw drill arbor. I clamped the acrylic to the plate at the right spot centered on the hole, and the hole held the arbor bit and kept the hole saw from wandering on the work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
