Default Cutting holes in acrylic bath

I have to cut tap holes in a new acrylic bath and I'm wondering what
the best tool would be. I was planning to use a holesaw but I'm
worried about the acrylic cracking/splitting or generally getting
chewed up. Are acrylic baths easy to cut?


Hole saw is the best way usually. A decent bimetal holesaw should leave
a nice clean edge. Most taps etc will have a flange that covers the cut
edge anyway, so there is no need for it to be perfect.

Just take time to mark out the cut positions first!
