Howdy gang. Although I have been on a hiatus from amps for a couple of years, I am slowly getting back with a unique build. The case will be blue with a white stripe, like a Cobra GT, so that's the name of the amp. Anyways, I am putting together the chassis and thought I would share a blog posting or how I cut faceplates on my CNC router.
Enjoy...

Very nice faceplate (and machine).
Like you, I am pleased that Autodesk now offers free student/hobbyist licences for Fusion 360: it works very well for me. I am even able to import designs exported from Front Panel Express's Front Panel Designer software in DXF.
Before Fusion 360 was available, I was able to engrave using the gcodetools plug-in distributed with Inkscape, a very nice open source vector drawing package.
I just completed the first machining job after the spindle upgrade: a faceplate for the CNC control computer. It's not a tube amp, but I use it to make tube amp faceplates!
