Subject: cutting "trough"s in a blank panel for faders and displays

From: <o.z.hall@...>

I have an 8x8 LED matrix display that I want to put on an MU (or MOTM) panel.  I'm planning to prototype this with a blank panel and a printed/laminated "label".  Drilling holes for knobs & jacks is easy enough.  I need to create a couple of troughs through which the pins of the LED matrix can fit.  This is the same challenge as creating a trough for a fader or doing a cutout for an LCD display.   How do I do this on an aluminum blank panel that I would get from Synthesizers.com or Bridechamber (MOTM blank panel)?
