What kind of drill bit do you use on plexiglass?
Diamond Dusted Drill Bits This dust enables the bit's cutting edge to remain sharp. The bits come with a 60 degree points and 0 degree rake. Diamond dusted bits are good for stack drilling or drilling multiple layers of plexiglass or plastic materials.
