Brief Description:  Instrument Panel #5

More cutting of the square holes.
I finished cutting all 4 sides of each of the 4 rectangular holes leaving between 1/16" and 1/32" from the actual scribe line.
I then used Paul Dye's recommendation on VAF.com of clamping a straight piece of steel along the scribe line and use the dremel rotary file to remove the remaining material. Still clamped I used the dremel sanding drum and then finally sandpaper. This technique works great and leaves a very smooth, straight edge.
I'm about 1/3rd of the way through this trimming process.

Here is the rotary cutter in action. The steel keeps you from 'accidents'....
