Find someone with a numerically controlled water jet machine. I had both
my radio subpanel and instrument panel done for $70. With a water jet
there is not tool changing and no need to do any deburring, all edges are
smooth. The unlikely place I found a water jet was next to the cemetary
at the place that sold tombstones. The granite tombstones are engraved
with a waterjet. I was fortunate that I use Auto CAD at work so that is
where the majority of the work comes from. Once drawn up the file is
downloaded to the jet. The machine is turned on and you watch it do its
job. cutting all screw holes and shaping the panel.
