Made my own speaker grilles

Punisher Grilles!

Vee cutter making the outlines.


Then a .250" dia. single-flute cutter does the rest.


Then some black, walnut paint, and some dry-brushing. I wanted them to look like they were laser-cut from old manhole covers or something.


Stainless hardware will hold them on, after I paint the stock grille mesh black.

nice job, how is it cutting aluminum with a router? I just cut plexi glass for the first time a little while ago, it was a little nerve racking at first, I almost stopped. I want to cut aluminum with the router soon, but am a little worried at how it will react. Any tips? My router is not speed adjustable, I'm not really sure what speed it runs at, it probably says on it somewhere.
