less exposure time!

less than 40 minutes to impregnate the wood of the wooden rims

several hours for the processing of the aluminum parts

If you've got templates, what about running around them with a trim router to cut the polycarbonate?  The bit type you want is a flush trim bit which is designed for exactly this use.

Never used, but ... very interesting, even though I don't really like that they are transparent, I could always cover them with paint  :o :o :o

excellent idea!
I've never owned one, I've always wanted one ;D
is there any "micro" trim router?

DiTBho:


I have a column drill, on which I mount abrasive brushes of various diameters and grits, as well as various drill bits

These are the tools I use for most jobs
