![]() Nick,
Very NICE! Does the bearing on the router bit scratch the acrylic during the cleanup process? |

![]() Thanks all for the kind words. I am quite happy with how it came out.

No, the bearing for the most part is stationary once against the material and even if it spins a bit i have not had any issues with scuffs on material as there is quite a bit of sanding and polishing after trimming anyway.
