| Drill bit for buttons !? |
| (1/6) > >> |

OK, so I need a 1 1/8th" Drill Bit to drill into my 3/4" thick CP for the Happs pushbuttons. I went to my local DIY store (Homebase in Ireland) but all the drill bits are in millimetres. Fine you say. How many mm in an inch...28mm But all the bits thay had were in standard sizes 22mm, 25mm and 32mm. None in 28mm ! So, am I wrong about the 1 1/8th inch ? Do I need another size ? OR... Does this store just not have a very good selection ? Help much appreciated :) Also, whats the best way to tighten/loosen the nut on a pushbutton ? Cheers. |

well... I'm in US.... so... can't provide much help in helping you buy the hole drilling bit.... but if you can afford crazy shipping price... you can surf the web... I'm sure some site will sell no matter where you are... as for tightening the nut for the button.... use your own hand and finger is good enough.... no need for other tools.... |

yeah, you would need a 28.575 mm size hole saw. I would try to grab it online honestly in the inch format, or look for a store a little further away that has more of a selection. |

wouldnt you want to purchase the 32mm drill bit at that store? 28mm in an inch 3.5 mm in an 1/8 of an inch = 31.5 mm ;) |

25.4 mm per inch. need a 1.13 inch mounting hole per Happ's site. equates to a 28.7 mm hole needed. The bezel on the button is 1.3 inches (33 mm) so a 32 mm drill bit only leaves 1 mm to support the button. I would search for a store with a better selection or order the inch version. -wj2k3 |
