Looks nice. Excellent work. :applaud: |

Thanks for the pics, I was wondering how those things work! Those starter holes look huge, do they make a punch that allows a smaller diameter starter hole? I don't need to make any extra holes right now, but when I do I didn't realize I would have to buy a new drill bit as well as a punch. |

Yes, the pilot hole for the 1-1/8" (a.k.a. 3/4" Conduit) hole punch requires a 3/4" hole. I have TWO Greenlee punches for doing the control panel holes: a punch that punches the 3/4" pilot hole (which in itself requires a 3/8" hole and I already have a 3/8" drill bit) and the 1-1/8" punch. |

Just depends on the model of punch I suppose. |
