Are polished endmills worth the money for acrylic
Greetings,
I have to machine acrylic to perfect transparency. I'm considering buying single flute polished endmills; manufacturer claim them to be perfect for acrylic. No one claim that they can leave a perfect finish but at least that can be close.
I'm not sure what is the purpose of this endmills. Are they meant for people searching for a good but not perfect finish so that they can avoid any more processing, or are they also meant for people looking for perfect finish to make the later processing easier whether it is flame polishing o abrasive polishing?
My doubt it that given perfect finish is the goal I will still have to polish material by hand with the exact same effort as for non polished endmills.
Does anyone have experience, or photos to share, with such tools?
Thanks.
