  1. You should have used an opti rough to clear that excess stock . That initial approach was too excessive. You need to understand how to engage the material with a roughing pass then come in with a finisher when profiling – CNC Applications Engineer

  2. What are the speeds and feeds you're using? I've been cutting acrylic with a .125" single flute endmill, .5mm plunge, 600mm/min feedrate, and I haven't been super happy with the finish. I feel like a faster and deeper cut is what I need, but I'm also super concerned about the rigidity of my Snapmaker 2

  3. Why do people with CNC routers always call them "the cnc machine"? People with cnc lathes or mills call the cnc lathes or cnc mills, but cnc routers so often are just cnc machines
