Drilled perfect holes thru Plexiglas

I bought this drill bit along with a few other smaller sizes. I used them to drill holes into clear pieces of Plexiglas. Before I ordered these specialty drill bits, I had attempted drilling holes with regular wood drill bits, and the piece ended up cracking where the holes were drilled. But with these, I was able to make nice, clean holes with a little bit of practice using a scrap piece of plexi. My only concern was that in my practice holes, the plexi chipped off where I made the hole. Just a tiny amount; but this is why I recommend working your way up from the smaller drill bit sizes, to the desired size hole. And don't drill in too quickly, otherwise chipping also occurs. I've worked with plastics on a few different projects, so I feel like these problems may have something to do with the nature of plastic, and not the drill bits themselves. These drill bits did the job nicely, so I'm happy with them.

I own a sign company. I've cracked a piece of acrylic on a job site trying to use a high-quality standard bit (cost me $250 to replace the sign). But what's worse is when a well-clamped acrylic sheet gets caught in the grooves of a standard bit and the sheet spins around and nails you in the leg. This is the right tool for the job. It cuts through acrylic without the cracks or bruises. I don't know whether it's better than other specialty acrylic bits, but it worked for me.

Doesn not work on plex. Broke each hole

This drill bit is advertised as being for acrylic and plexiglass but I'm pretty sure it is just a plain old drill bit. The drill but I received was black and looked nothing like the one in the picture above. It left cracks and chips in every hole I drilled (about 8 in all) on the new plexiglass for my boat. $200 down the drain because of this fraudulent item. I should have test it on my old glass but I trusted the listing. Lesson learned. Do not buy this drill bit if you are drilling into any plexiglass or acrylic.

I was told I had to buy a special drill bit for our plastic table tops or it would melt the plastic. So, I bought this drill bit and it worked. Plastic did not melt. Perfect size for the job.

this drill worked well on my plexiglass. I drilled a very small hole before using this one, but it did not break the 1/8 inch plexiglassI was drilling into.

Worked great for our plexiglass screens.
