High speed melts the Lexan. You have to go slowly. When you're done, fine grit sand paper and even a scotch-bright work to finish off the edges. Generally, I'll make up a wooden guide and secure it and the Lexan. I guess you could look at it almost as a very slow speed routing operation. BIG recommendation: However you chose to work with Lexan, get some and play with it first before messing with your lenses. It does take a little getting used to.
