    60 - 6-1/8" holes in plywood

    I have a friend in Denver who needs to cut 60 - 6-1/8" holes in a piece of 3/4" plywood. The plywood is 48"x 85". Looking for suggestions. This would seem to be an ideal application for a computer operated router. This is a one time deal, so any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Is there anyone on this forum with this type equipment in the Denver, CO area?

    Thanks, Jim

    Jim,

    I own a 48" by 96" ShopBot CNC router which would do the job in just a few minutes. Although the distance makes it impossible for me to do the job you will surely find a ShopBotter in the Denver area. Finding someone is easy, visit the ShopBot web site and click on the "Let's Talk ShopBot" link to their forum. You can post a message as a guest and ask for assistance, I expect you will have several people respond.

    Good Luck!

    If you can't go the shopbot route, you could use a router and a template.

    Naw, UPS only charges about $8 to ship holes from VA to CO: they're bulky, but very light.

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    Lee, I think the OP’s friend needs the hole thing, and UPS only ships the top part.
