Welcome to the forums N/A...
tooling plastic is safe but is the application of the finished product...
what do you intend to do w/ the finished product???...
you need to hog out as much as you can before run the T slot bit...
I'd do the hogging out in one pass w/ a dado blade...
3/8" slot cut before the T-slot - ??????
cut the plastic the same as you would wood...
as you cut have all of the suction you can muster to keep the chips cleared of the cutting operation...
use slower motor speed and moderate feed... too fast a feed and you'll get load up and melting... too slow and you'll get a lot of melting...
practice on scrap 1st...
wax your bit before ya get started...
how do you intend to polish the inside of the T slot as Acrylic is extremely nick sensitive (will easily break/crack) and your finale won't have much in strength......
I'd use polycarbonite instead of Acrylic...
there's some attached PDF's that you might find useful...
