I cut my panel with it and it was slick. I output the panel layout to a .dxf file, and I brought it over to my friend. It is really neat to watch this 1/16 inch router dance over the panel, and soon, a great looking panel. I used the metal that came with the kit, but now I wish I used some heavier and it was no more sweat to cut thicker material. Additionally, etching can be done. I am not sure if he might be interested in providing this service for the LL, but he might. Let me know if there might be a need. MDS
