I need to mount a flat screen monitor panel into a sheet of MDF for an arcade machine I am building. Attached are pics of the panel from the top and side (as you can see, I removed it from its case).
I want to mount the panel in a sheet of MDF. I need to cut a hole in the MDF the size of the visible screen, and a rebate so that the silver frame has a hole to slot into.
I am a complete router novice, so need some guidance on how to make the visible screen shaped hole (needs square corners) and how to make the rebate for the frame to slot in to. Could do with guidance on router tools necessary and tips for suitable jigs.
