with a drill bit......
ANS 2 - It helps if you use an automatic centre punch first, so the bit doesn't slide. Also it's better if the drill bit is NOT new, so the edges are not extremely sharp. Drill at a fairly low speed (450-500 rpm) for best results. ( This all applies to Plexiglass too )

What are the properties of acrylic?
Acrylic is hard when at room temperature, but becomes pliable when heated. It is sometimes transparent and comes in a range of colours. It can be bent into a shape, but it can snap if bent too much. It is easy to cut and not very flexible (depends on the thickness) and takes a long time to file down. However, when machining acrylic, make sure to lower the RPM of your drill or milling machine to prevent melting the acrylic. Also, use an endmill that is not a spiral, but has a straight cutting blade to prevent shattering (a common phenomenon with acrylic).
How to Make An Acrylic Sign?
One material used by many artists is acrylic sheets. Acrylic sheets have the composition of glass but are much sturdier. They are used often in the manufacturing of car windows, picture frames, and fish tanks. You can also use an acrylic sheet to make an attractive and stylish sign for decoration or to advertise a business. Just use the following steps to create your own acrylic sign.First, you'll need to create the design for your acrylic sign. You should do this by outlining that design onto the acrylic sheet with pencil. Use stencils, if at all possible, especially for letters and numbers. You should be able to find stencils for many other shapes at most arts and crafts stores. When you create this design, start in the center and then work towards the edges. Draw the outline of the sign last so you can make sure the designs on the interior are spatially balanced.Next, get a rather study utility knife. Take the knife and cut out the edges of the sign. If the knife isn't strong enough, you may have to use an electric saw. After you have finished cutting, use some sand paper to smooth out any jagged edges.Next, you will need to add two holes to the sign. Place them near the two upper corners. These holes will be used to hold the sign up when you hang it. Decide where the holes should be and mark them with a pencil. Use a drill to drill the holes into the acrylic. Make sure to drill slowly though. If you drill too fast, the acrylic may get too hot.Lastly, you'll need to paint your sign. You should use acrylic paint for the best results. You should also paint the design with several layers. Make sure to let each layer dry for a decent amount of time before you add another. The paint will take a longer time to dry than on other kinds of materials due to the fact that acrylic sheets are not porous. Using acrylic paint will also give you another benefit. If you make a mistake, you can simply wash the paint away before it dries.
Where do you buy acrylic nails?
If you are looking for a professional nail drill, I would recommend something like the Primosa and Mystisa. They are both good commercial units at an affordable price. You can spend twice as much, but these two give you the most bang for your buck. You can find these units by doing search on their names, or get them where I always do: buffpinkies.com
