True if you go slow. Too much heat and pressure can cause stress cracks. But one can do it the way you describe.

Jim, never had a problem with cracking if you use a drill press.

I am not sure what polycarbonate is, but use Lexan. You can drill and cut it with your normal power tools without problems of melting at the drill or cut lines.

If you use the old stuff, you should modify your drill bit by removing the edge of the cutting planes. In other words, make it dull and drill very slowly or it will crack or melt.
