How about some more info? What size are the pieces you wish to cut (determines the foot print of the machine)? It sounds like you won't need much Z travel (cutting sheet goods exclusively?). What do you have for a router? Does acrylic need to be cut wet (with a lubricant of some kind)? What's your spending budget like?
