Are most people using Lexan for the top of the CP? https://www.lowes.com/pd/LEXAN-Polycarbonate-0-118-in-T-x-24-in-W-x-48-in-L-Clear-Polycarbonate-Sheet/1001579324 Found this stuff called Optix.... says it's acrylic and I wonder if that might chip a little easier when drilling holes and routing the edge...???? https://www.lowes.com/pd/OPTIX-0-22-in-T-x-24-in-W-x-48-in-L-Clear-Acrylic-Sheet/3502046 |

Can't find a slot cutter for my router locally so looks like I have to order it. That will slow things down a little.... --- End quote --- Wow I was half-kidding before obviously, but $66 for a sheet of 3/4" ply, simply WoW :o I order most of my hardware & electronics stuff online now, most of the local hardware stores don't have much that's useful beyond common stuff for building houses. Trouble is, by the time a project's essential things arrive I've often moved onto something else or implemented a work-around. If you don't have a lot of experience using a slot-cutter or a router, I suggest you practice first on a cheaper offcut as people often have a tendency to wander off centre the first few times. Would hate for you to mess up that pricey plywood ;) |

Read reviews for a bunch of garbage bits.... Seems like the brand Freud is good though, so I ordered one of those (1/16" slot) and an arbor. Same brand as the Forsner bit I got at Lowe's yesterday. |
