Paul Clay wrote: What's the best way/tool to cut or drill holes 1/8 inch to 5/16 inch in diameter in thin gauge aluminum (for inserting potentiometers and phono, power jacks, etc.)? I've tried using just a power drill and genernal purpose drill bits and the results have been sort of ragged (the edges of the hole are ragged and the process of drilling creates a depression surrounding the drilled hole). I use a tapered drill, it produces a very neat hole. What's a good technique for labeling front panel controls on a piece of homebrew gear? Are there self adhesive labels or decals that stick/wear really well? Print them on a sheet of paper, put that on the panel and cover it with a sheet of plastic. You'll have to make holes for the controls, etc. Leon -- Leon Heller, G1HSM Email: My low-cost Philips LPC210x ARM development system: http://www.geocities.com/leon_heller/lpc2104.html |
