Unfortunately the learning curve can be pretty expensive.  I destroyed (as 
in snapped in half) $40 worth of .062 2 flute cutters working out the feed 
& speed for cutting aluminum when I was working on the IFF panel.

I'm going to talk to Fred at Centurion Tools today and see what he 
recommends I buy for this acrylic job.  His cutters are very high quality 
and not nearly as expensive as the Onsrud line.

It's a dream machine, literally.  I dream it up, it cuts it out. :)
Sometimes it actually works out that way for real. *laughs*
