My old MAME Cabinet Revision
Donkbaca:
Wow, someone finally decides to actually get all the buttons and test them! Tell us what you think. I have the paradise arcade buttons, but I have the chrome bezels on them.
Don't use the hole saw, get a file and grind out the holes to make them larger. I bought a chisel set at Home Depot/lows that had rounded files to file out holes. It doesn't look like you have to go that much larger...
drventure:
+1 on donkabaca's hole saw comment, That'll be hell getting to to cut right.
One other possibility is to put together a quick router template and use a router to trim out the holes, but really, a file might be quicker and easier.

suggest Dremel rotary tool or even a corded power drill, with a drum sander attachment.

or similar. You won't have to take much off. you can get a dremel knockoff and some attachments at harbor freight for cheeeeeep.

Perfect, I actually have an old dremel. I'm 95% sure I have a sander bit that came with it. I don't have a router otherwise that would have been ideal with a template. I'm not real woodsy.
I just found out about Harbor Freight this week. There is one in the Valley about 20 minutes from where I live.
Donkbaca:
Dremel with sander drum, probably best bet!
