Bill,

I've had great results using a the sanding drum on my dremmel set to LOW
speed.  High speed melts the Lexan.  You have to go slowly.  When you're
done, fine grit sand paper and even a scotch-bright work to finish off the
edges.

Generally, I'll make up a wooden guide and secure it and the Lexan.  I guess
you could look at it almost as a very slow speed routing operation.

BIG recommendation: However you chose to work with Lexan, get some and play
with it first before messing with your lenses.  It does take a little
getting used to.
