Beveling is best done at a sanding station. Get a power sanding station that has a disc sander and a belt sander. Mine has an 8 inch disc and a small 1-inch belt, is made by Delta and cost less than $75 US. It machines acrylic very nicely. It just takes some practice to get the hang of it. Do it a little bit at a time until you get it just right. The key is not to sand it all down at once, but make several light passes and eat away just a bit of material at a time.
Be sure to choose a table with a tilting platform to let you sand perfect bevels at just about any angle. A vacuum dust attachment is a real plus as well.
