    Yeah, look like the options are:

    1. Festool 32mm + router + jig to hold pieces
    2. Drill press
    3. CNC <--- may be the best option, but I'm not sure I have other uses...not really into signs,...

    BASF MMA acrylic.
    4 coats in 1 day.
    ~100mils thick.
    Can add coats later with re-activated mma.
    Moves better than epoxy.

    Negatives: smells, very expensive, not DIY friendly.

    Purchased a Mini-Max MM-24 3-phase. When I started this exercise, I thought it would be an Agazzani B-24/24.
