    I'd probably use a single or two-flute ball end cutter for that.

    We used single edged engraving tools for sign plastics. You'll have to get your spoilboard as level as possible, and you should use a vacuum fixture of some sort. The machines we used had a depth stop collar that rides over the work piece via a spring-loaded spindle, because there can be variations in thickness.
