control panel project question

<< < (4/4)

dkersten:
A jigsaw and then sanding to smooth it is the easiest way to round a corner.  Use anything round - a cup, a paint can, a dinner plate, whatever you can find that has the radius you want, then draw it on the corner and cut it with the jigsaw and sand it smooth with either a block wrapped in sandpaper, a disc or pad sander, or a stationary sander if you can (to ensure perfect 90 degree sanding).  Use a good quality scrolling blade in the jigsaw to prevent blade drift so your cut will remain perpendicular to the board and minimize the amount of sanding needed.  If you don't feel you can cut a nice perpendicular edge, then use some scrap to cut it the best you can and sand it as close as you can, then clamp the scrap to your piece and use a router with flush trim bit. 

EMDB:
Draw using a beer glass of your favorite brand (Jupiler in my case), cut using a router (freehand - needs some practice!) and finish with some sanding to get the corners fully smooth.

Would you recommend just the self-adhesive vinyl?  Definitely looks like their pricing is very reasonable.

When it comes to recomendations on getting artwork printed for an arcade control panel. I won't reccomend cheap. I will reccomend the best:
gameongrafix

I couldn't be happier with my control panel and the adhesive holds great.
the polycarbonate paper holds up to anything. My cp looks as good today as it did 2 years ago (and it does look good  :))

Has anyone bought a Control Panel Overlay from Lucian045?
