Cutting plexi for monitor with a router.  A plastic/laminate bit was used.  It makes a very smooth cut as long as you always work right to left or clockwise.  A board was clamped to the table to act as a fence for a straight cut.

Cutting the control panel plexi.  Plexi was clamped directly to the panel, and the perimeter was followed for a flush fit.  Small holes were drilled first in the button holes so the bit could be inserted.
