Bits for Lexan and other plastics

[abesau]

Newbie. Looking to buy a good all around bit for Lexan and other plastics (if there's such thing as all around bit for plastics, hard and soft). This is just to try myself at cutting other than just wood.

Thanks guys

I cut with a 2-flute straight bit. I take at most ½ dia of bit down per pass. 350-400 ipm at 12-15k depending upon the sharpness of the tool.

2 flute end mills are pretty standard for machining plastics
