Great work as always!

That scoots. The V hauls. :)

Accidentally clicked 'Dislike', sorry.

Mine...

Very nice, Phillip!

I would wager to say most of the folks in this thread that have posted or are interested in the subject, drill holes in 1/4" or 3/8" acrylic. That's the typical application I need the bits for. I use the Harbor Freight one in the attached photo on the right. It will drill through 1/4" acrylic...

Performing the task 'effectively' was implied, but I included it above so it's official. I've never had the scuff marks, regardless of which bit I've used. But I also clean away the debris as I go.

A proper tool is whatever performs the task. I've never had the step bits wander or leave scuffs (??). They work great. They also ease their way through due to the stepped sizes, rather than trying to take out all of the material at once. And they never bind. And they're really inexpensive.

The cheapie step bits from Harbor Freight work really well.

Not trying to be a jerk, but this is the first thing that popped in my head:

Upsell it to the customer as a nicer sign with more dimension for the same cost....? :)

I would do this. ^

Yes to the C clamps and 2x4. Also helpful is a couple of hangers off the front of the basket made out of 2x4's. Build 'hooks' at the bottom that the face can rest in.

The "YOU ASKED FOR IT, YOU GOT IT" letters were about an 1/8" or 3/16" stroke.

Thanks! Everything was tired lol Thanks!!

VHB is still your best bet. Cut pieces as wide as possible, even on the 'l'. Keep in mind it's pressure sensitive. Apply pressure to ensure the tape wets out entirely.

I totally agree on the hot spots. With a shallow cabinet and a flat face, there will be hot spots. I just don't understand why there's so much emphasis being put on hanger bars and screws (?!) for a 4' x 8' polycarbonate face. The same retainers that held in the existing formed faces will hold...

Not to be argumentative, but that's why electrical service calls are T&M and hard quotes aren't given. I still don't understand what's dangerous about inserting a 4' x 8' x .188" polycarbonate face where a formed face was.

I must be missing something - what's the dangerous part of this?

This.
