eastbayarb:

I did a search on this but not much of a deffinite answer. I am trying to add buttons to my control panel (I did not make this control panel but I am modifying it) but i need advice on what tool(s) to use for drilling proper sized holes for the buttons.

Thanx

ArcadEd:

1 1/8th inch Hole Saw, Paddle Bit or Forsner (sp?) bit

eastbayarb:

you got pictures of this "1 1/8th inch Hole Saw, Paddle Bit or Forsner (sp?) bit"

thanks for the advice

ArcadEd:

Paddle Bit


Hole Saw


Forstner


Price wise, the paddle bit is the cheapest, then hole saw, then forstner

Good luck

Tahnok:

You'll have better luck finding a 'paddle bit' if you search for it as a spade bit.

Some will argue the spade bit will give you rougher holes than the others. They all do a good enough job though for most CPs though.
