yeah, that bit should do it the cutting depth is 59/64 so you should be good for 3/4 stock do you know anyone with a table saw? I'd cut a few blanks then go use someone's table saw to cut that exact angle on them you'll have fun with MDF it routes much nicer than plywood (just wear a respirator or at the very least a dust mask the dust is no good for you) |

YAY for the local stores! Found one of these: http://www.prontohome.com/compare/amana-49410-22-1-2-10305089456 at a local shop: http://www.eastsidesaw.com/ My wife is picking it up now so that I can have more fun with the router tonight. :) |

Having a great time working on this! I got the 22.5 degree chamfer bit. Works perfectly! I was also very happy to find that the MDF that I bought isn't 2 feet wide, but instead 2' 7/16", which is exactly the width of the original control panel! (I guess that wasn't by accident when they designed it originally). Anyways, I can get more than 2 out of a single piece of MDF now. :) I ended up using some buttons holes that came out really well in a plywood prototype as a template to clamp onto the MDF and use the drill press and forstner bit to cut holes in the MDF. Here's the progress so far. I wish it weren't after 10 or I'd try to finish up tonight! |

Nice job with that chamfer, looks really nice. Is it just me, or does the button pattern for P1 not line up with that of P2? Maybe I just need some sleep, but I swear it looks twisted. |
