Thanks! I'm feeling a bit more confident with my jigsawing after doing my cp today so may try that way carefully. |

Jigsaw should be fine for this. Doesn't need to be pretty. One tip I would recommend would be to make shallow cuts and do test fits. There was much less "shoulder" on the power outlet than I expected. You don't want your hole to be too big. |
| PL1:
Another method to consider is chain-drlling -- small holes close together in a line. That way there is less material to chisel away than the Forstner method shown above. Scott |

http://www.amazon.co.uk/IEC320-Inlet-Module-Switch-Socket/dp/B0050HH70E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399980777&sr=8-1&keywords=iec+inlet Can anyone who bought the IEC inlet with the red switch being talked about here (linked above) confirm if the dimensions of the back section are 4.7 x 2.7cm (as listed in the Amazon link)? My one is coming form China so won't arrive for a while and I'd like to get the hole made so I can start painting soon if possible. Thanks! |

I can help you with that, but I am at work right now. I'll get you some pics and measurements when I get home. |
