To layout my panel, I made full size paper dollies. Went thru several iterations, then made a CAD model and emailed it to a water jet vendor and 50 bucks later had my panel.

Knuckled62, don't forget to layout all the panel locations for your switches and Circuit breakers. They look small and insignificant on the front side, but in the back they are larger than you might think.

Hi Bill,
I am looking at having mine water jetted also.
How did you do the very professional lettering on your panel?

Don't overlook the possibility of having the panel laser cut. It is similar in price to water jet, but is much more accurate (within thousandths).

I created a Solidworks file of the panel for all the lettering and sent it to a local silkscreen vendor. they made the silkscreen and applied the lettering to the panel. The cost for that was $145.
