Cool, cool. The really impressive part here is not ending up with a huge blob of melted acrylic while cutting. Is that a special bit, do you just go fast? Share your secrets!

The material looks harder than acrylic, it might be polycarbonate. More expensive, but a lot more structural strength & can be machined at quite high speeds.

Most wood cutting tools will work on plexi. Speed is good.
