I am in the same boat - first cab so I didn't know better. Amazing all of the details that really are involved in making a quality cab. I will be doing the same as Lew - chafering the Lexan 45 degrees. I actually think it will end up looking pretty good. Another option that you do have is to route the T-Molding down the center of the 3/4" MDF and then take it to be planed down 1/8" - making it 5/8. When done, your T-molding should cover the Lexan fine. Let us know. Cheers. Ray |

I did this with my last control panel and it looks pretty good. --- End quote --- Or you could offset the molding on the wood and angle cut the bottom of the wood. |

See here. The 45 degree one? |

That would work pretty good too - if you painted it black it would probably almost disappear. The main thing is to make sure you do some practice cuts. It took me a few practice cuts before I found the mark. |
