Can you route Lexan?
Pixelhugger:
I suggest you get a FORSTNER bit for the holes. It'd be cheaper/faster/easier than a new router bit and does a perfectly smooth job. Just don't use the spade. As far as the trackball hole I routed a bull nose around my trackball hole using the CP hole as a guide for the bearing. I've posted this before cuz I'm just so dammmmn proud- the key is to polish it after routing. 200 grit sandpaper -lightly- then 400 grit then plastic polishing compound on a fabric wheel on your drill. Gives it a clearer than glass finish! This is 1/4" thick Lexan, so doing the same on 1/8" may be a much different look - but for what it's worth here it is...
