Do it a bit at a time, chip away at it /pun. it'd take you that long (or longer) to drive to my house for me to route the holes for you. I think you can rent one from Home Depot. What kind of animation do you do? |

I'm just south of Philly but my router is already out on loan... Check out this place: http://retoolpa.com/ It's up 95N near Sesame Place... Great prices on used tools. |

You can buy a router at harbor freight for $25...it is a small trim router and it works great. Sure it is not a name brand unit, but it works great. I have had mine for a little over a year and have used it on numerous projects, both arcade related and otherwise, and it has performed very well. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=44914 |
