I need to cut a square hole ( 1" x 1.25" ) in a standard plastic
electrical box cover ... in this case, its the type with one hole for a TV
jack. The new square hole will be to mount a chassis jack for Anderson
Power Pole connections. ( Powerwerx HS-4 ).


Can anyone advise of the best method and tool to do this? I am concerned
about cracking the plastic if I don't do it right.

Mark out the required hole and then drill a series of 1/4 inch holes
inside your marking. Use a needle file to break out the waste and a
small flat file get the hole to size. Ten minute job in plastic.
