When it comes to brass and acrylic plastic sheet, you have to score the material out, and not use a sharp edge. The tools will "bite" into the material and become seized and potentially crack the material. Having a 90 Deg standing edge is the best way.
I have never had a problem with either material cutting as shown, and I have done a lot of production jobs with both materials you mentioned. I have not heard of that. Thank you for watching and commenting!
It is possible but lots of setups the O and the D would be the hardest. The other letters are straight moves. A sliding pivot point on a tool makers vise could accomplish the O and D. I would use a sharpie marker in the spindle before each cut to proof each line and arc prior to cutting.
Nice job. 👍👍👍
Thanks Patrick!
