I'm sure some of you more seasoned glassers have a better way to do this, but I just figured this out this weekend. I was always having problems trimming my enclosures after I had wrapped fleece and then glassed over it. When ever I was trimming the edges and the speaker hole, I'd either go too far or not far enough and cut inside or outside the hole which meant I had to grind it down or repair it. Well, this weekend I ran out of the blue fleece I normally use so I used some white stuff. After I wrapped the fleece tight, I took a sharpy and drew a line around the outside edge and around the speaker hole. After laying glass, I could still see the line and knew exactly where to trim! Saved a ton of time. My $0.02.

Or you could just use a dremel with a trimming bit, the end has no cutting surface so it will ride the baffle edge and cut whatever is above it. I've not seen anything better than that, its perfect when done.

if I understand what you're saying correctly... this is what flush cut router bits are made for.
