amerish:

leave the paper on the plexi. Then put the plexi over your drilled top of the control panel. Turn on a flashlight and put it into the panel and you will see ever hole lit. Drill into the hole with a plunger bit on the router then switch to a flush trim bit to clean out the hole.

Works perfectly every time I have done it.

Kajoq:

For cutting the plexi, making a sandwich with Wood | plexi | wood, and cutting slowly worked well for me.

Doing the holes, drill a small pilot hole first, A spade bit SHOULD work, but I used a holesaw bit and that worked perfect.  The hole cutting went much more smoothly than straight line cutting

Malenko:

I drilled the holes for the screws that held the plexi to the panel, then I mounted the plexi to the control panel then used a dremel to slowly cut out the holes for the buttons. messy but its all the hardware i own :/


and it worked

knave:

When I drilled Acrylic I used a small pilot hole and then used a slow to medium speed to drill out the hole.  I used a block of wood underneath.  Worked great.
