Standard drill bit size for buttons?
j123vt_99:
is there a standard size drill bit that you guys use to drill holes for buttons? Are all push buttons the same size?
terryd:
You will need to make the holes 1 1/8". You can use whatever kind of bit you want. Some use spade bits, others use hole saws, and others even use forstner bits... Dpending on the material you're trying to drill through, one may be better than the others. I used a hole saw for mine. I drilled through lexan and MDF at the same time...

Holy crap, thats one heck of a drill bit..
Do you have a drill that support that size ? If you don't, its cheaper to get a hole saw
