Router Bits? (lots of questions)

[RandomCitizenX]

I finally picked up a plunge router last night while I was at sears, I am now trying to figure out which bits will be needed. I know that I will need to pick up a slot cutter for my t-molding, and a straight bit to handle my bezle and cp. Can anyone recomend sizes for the straight bits? I also saw a 45 degree angle bit. Would this be a good choice if I wanted to make some miter cuts at that angle without using a miter saw? I also remember someone saying they made most of the cuts on their cab using their router. If my cab has several curves is this a good idea? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A flush trim router bit goes through plexi and lexan like butter.

Hi,

Whatever router bit you purchase you had best get a cleaning kit for the bits and some pva spray to keep the bits from burning out.

On the straight bits, Home Depot has a 4 pack of various sizes for $20 (here in Texas) by Ryobi. Best value I've seen for a name brand. Unless you have a pattern for your control panel, like an old control panel that has seen better days that you can use your flush trim bit with, you'll find it difficult to use a plunge router to make joystick and button holes. I'd suggest paddle wood drill bits for the best accuracy on a cheap budget. I've yielded great results that way.
