Hi Stéphane Cant really help you there.... I've never had to machine plastics fronts off. But trimming excess off the sides goes fine with one of those combi belt and disc sanders.... so I would suppose you could use something along those lines. Obviously you want to watch how much heat you generate. I'd think one of those mini bandsaws with a very fine blade would cut through that stuff ok... but I've never tried. Just how much of this stuff do you have to trim off ?? Cheers RicB wrote: > Hi Ric. > > This might seem a stupid question, but what machine do you use for > machining plastic keytops ?
