A 4" lens would do worse on that material, in my opinion. I can't cut thick acrylic without air and a 4" lens gets the air nozzle so far from the cut, you get serious fire issues and blistering of the acrylic. 1" is just exceeding the ability of your machine. I know you are just trying different things to learn, but honestly, even if you could get it to cut 1" thick, it would be so slow that you couldn't make any money doing it.
