I do agree that cnc is the way to go.
Yep, CNC is looking like the 'easier' way to get this done right. I also like the router option too... I really want to get this chassis done... It's my first real 'design'.

For the holes just burn a tiny guide hole and then drill it out...
An idea, but the heat made the fibers/epoxy flash area so big (even with a mask), the frayed fibers were longer than 5mm.
