First CMOY - Case questions...

[aaronylee]

Hello! I managed to build my very own cmoy by following tangentsoft's instructions!

I was wondering what people would recommend to drill holes for the Serpac enclosure for mounting the jacks...

Also, I know that there's a 50 post limit before we can buy/sell something, but I have something that I would like to sell. Is there any way that someone could post it for me?

A cordless drill with a sharp bit works for me.

And....
Attempting to circumvent the forum rules in an open post is not the brightest idea I have ever seen.
It will only take you 17 "I have never heard those but" posts in the headphone section to get to 50 so knock yourself out.

Yah, go hang out in the member's lounge for a while. There's plenty of threads there for that postcount++ action.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Plastic is a very easy material to drill into. Your best bet is, as suggested, a drill and bits. Any bit will do, wood or metal specific, it doesn't matter.

The best way to choose a drill is to place the drill behind the part that's going through the hole to be made. You want a drill bit that's just a hair wider than the protrusion, that way you don't have to fight to get the component through.

Don't forget to file any burs off too, as they'll offer plenty of frustration.

Good Luck!
