the attachment i was using was the 'Plunge Router Attachment' ... about $20 or $30 i think.

It was ok ... and it will cut wood if you get some of the router bits for it. But it wasn't very accurate. With enough patience you could get it to be real accurate tho. Also one of my dremels burned up routing that wood so you need to go slow and take small cuts. it's a time consuming process.

I ended up getting a guy i work with who has a wood shop to cut the piece (it was 3/4" x 3/4" trim wood by the way, not mdf) ... he used either a routing table or a table saw ... not sure, but it was real accurate.

you could use foam (check out gork's M3 in the show off your proj forum) ... i wouldn't suggest cardboard ... and since you have that big kiosk pc i think mdf is probably the way to go for you. you could probably get by with a circular saw and a jig saw.
