You drill plexiglass with a standard HSS drill at a low speed and with a piece of wood right where the drill point will exit the work.
The best type of drill bit for plexiglass is a carbide-tipped drill bit.

how do you get egg off of plexiglass
I cut and work with plexiglass a lot, and find Bi Metal Hole Saws to be best, especially if they are used in a drill press at a fairly low speed.
A cheap alternative to plexiglass is acrylic sheeting.

Most plexiglass does scratch, acrylic plexiglass can resist scratches better then most types but will still get them.
Yes. Plexiglass is a plastic, whereas glass is comprised mainly of silicas. Glass is about twice as dense as plexiglass, so a sheet of plexiglass is lighter than a sheet of glass the same size.
It may also be used for plastics or plastic laminates.
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 )
To make plexiglass non-glare, you can apply a non-glare coating or film specifically designed for plexiglass surfaces. These coatings or films help reduce reflections and glare, making the plexiglass surface easier to see through.
You can differentiate plexiglass from glass by tapping on it - plexiglass will produce a dull sound, while glass will create a clear ringing sound. Additionally, plexiglass is more flexible and lighter than glass. Finally, you can also try touching the surface - plexiglass is typically warmer to the touch compared to glass.
