Well you could rent them at the Home Depot.

Well, I took a trip to Harbor Freight and got what I need. The only thing I can't seem to find was a 3/32-inch 3 wing slot cutter.

Good for you!

As for the 3 wing slot cutter - a 1/16" one from MLCS works good. Do yourself a favor and get a flush trim bit as well.

What do I need the flush trim bit for?
leapinlew:
The flush trim bit is good for a couple things. It's great for cutting plexi. If you plan on using plexi for your marquee or control panel. Also, it's great to cut out patterns you already have. Here is a picture of me cutting with the flush trim bit. What I've done is create what I wanted to cut and used this bit to trace around and create an exact. This is very useful when cutting the sides of your cabinet - you cut 1 side and trace the other with this bit.

 

Now, if you already have both sides cut and have no need for cutting identical peices - using it to cut the control panel is a good clean way to cut holes in your plexi. You can read my project announcement to see how I used it. While I'm waiting on parts, I documented the cutting of my CP plexi.

If you still decide you don't need a flush trim router bit. Thats fine and dandy. I've been very surprised how handy it's been. Good luck!
