how y'all work your sight windows?

Handsaw+chisel+files

I use a carbide bandsaw blade to cut out bows and get the window close. Then files, palm sander, as well as a dremmel tool with little sanding rounds.

I mark out the sight window and sand on the belt sander(rounded part of the Ridgid belt/spindle sander) as much as possible.  Then cut the shelf with my hand miter just short of the intended depth. Then take a hand saw and carefully cut down to that line from inside the part of the window that is already sanded.  File from there.  Make sure you cut from the back of the riser so you don't pull the glass off.  It's pretty simple really.

I use an angle grinder with a 36 grit disc, and a Harbor Freight 1" belt sander. and a rasp for where the arrow passes by.
gets done pretty fast with and orbital sander for final sanding
