I am trying to overlay my control panel with plexiglass and I need to drill 3/8 in. and 1 1/8 holes, then cut an aprox 4 in by 4 in. section out of the center. I tried clamping the plexi down, but when I drilled the 3/8 holes it broke. Can someone post how to do this properly? Also, I cut the 4 x 4 section out of an real arcade control panel for a custom fit tracball with a power jigsaw with a metal cutting blade and I have to cut the plexi in the same dimensions. How is this done? thanks!!!
