Been cutting more acrylic lately (usually I cut wood) and I'm noticing that there is always a small lip on both sides protruding above the surface. It feels very crisp and sharp.
Everything I've cut so far has been extruded if that makes a difference. I'm working on a design which will require sandwiching several layers and gluing them up...but because of the lip the surfaces don't make very good contact. No way I can deburr all the pieces before I glue, so I really need to solve this.
Anyone know how to avoid this? Laser is 80W and I always use air assist when I cut.
