Cutting and routing done



Today, we finished all the parts necessary for the backbox itself. Next step, assembling the backbox!

We cut out the hole for the bottom panel of the backbox. It's not too precise and we didn't care about sanding because it will be hidden in the backbox.




Hole for the 19" DMD monitor





We used a parallel fence with the router, set it up for 5mm depth and cut out the path for the lexan glass on both sideboards for the backbox. Unfortunately i got a little impatient when i removed the router at the end of the path as you can see at the picture. Fortunately, it happend on the inside of the backbox and can't be seen on the outside, so no filling necessary.

To have the holes for the DMD as exactly as possible, and to reduce sanding to a minimum we've tried to cut the DMD hole with the router. It takes much longer as with a jigsaw, but the result speaks for itself. With the edges rounded it looks almost perfect. We're absolutely happy with the result.
