I am laying out my new control panel for my supermax and have a couple questions. I plan on using either 14ga or 12ga aluminum. I have to cut out a bunch of square holes for some of the existing pushbuttons I am reusing from the old control.
What should I use to cut these holes out? Endmill? I also thought I heard of a panel cutter bit but not sure.
What kind of bit is good for engraving?
Any good (cheap) software to create the gcode? Or just manually program the cuts and use something like deskengrave for the lettering?
