How do I make square holes for bolts in metal control panel?

Pages: (1/4) > >>

rackoon:

Like the title says I need to make square holes in my metal CP so my bolts holding my joystick wont spin when I tighten them. I was hoping to use black bolts with no screw driver notch on them. Should I try a file or may by a carbid blade in my jig saw.

So how is every one else solving this? :dizzy:

Drill a hole then file it out square with a square needle file..... It's really quick and easy to do. Try it.

Drill a hole and file it out. That's how I have always done it.

I recommend Kens method.

I do not recommend Fozzys method.
