Routed & push through / routed & backed copy:

Any aluminum face over 96” will be built in sections and then bolted together on site.

A ⅛” router bit is the minimum size used for aluminum faces.

90 degree corners will be slightly rounded by the ⅛” router bit.

Keep any copy or graphics minimum 2 ½” from the outside cabinet edge to allow space for the internal structure around the perimeter.

Details of a routed & push through letter

The red and blue circles in the image below represent the size of the ⅛” router bit.

Notice how the inside corners will be rounded off, as the router bit is larger than the corner. (Refer to the blue circles in the enlargement detail to the right).

Due to the thin stroke of this serifed letter style, the original outline of the letters becomes the cut path of the acrylic. (Refer to the blue dashed line).

The cut path for the aluminum is offset ¹⁄₁₆” outside of the original path (refer to the red dashed line). This is required so that the path for both the acrylic and aluminum is possible.
