I believe the term is "going flacid" ... I certainly wouldn't want this to
happen to my 3" x 1/2" spiral carbide bit ...

Acrylic is supposedly more rigid than polycarbonate. Being able to see
through it is a huge advantage when changing bits. Hylton and Matlack's book
suggests 3/8 inch acrylic and they show the same router in their table. It
weighs 18 pounds! So its a good question. I do not notice any sag initially.
Also, the acrylic insert can be easily replaced.
