hey guys
here's my story
I got a dedicated Virtua fighter cabinet in good shape.
But i want to make it 6 buttons ...
Cause im getting an other VF 1 dedicated in Better shape.. (yay!) :)

the setup is not that complicated to put extra buttons they would be curved a little but still good
i could wire it to jamma & use it as a 6 button jamma cab


but my concern is I got a 1 1/8 Drill bit
I did CP in Wood...

but im not sure if It can go trhought metal... i never tryed before
since i will have  6 holes to make i wanna be sure.... that it will work....

Im using a electric battery powered drill it's very strong .

thanks!!!

Drill a small pilot hole, then use a hole saw to cut the holes, make sure you get a carbide-tipped hole saw, or get a cheap one that you don't care whether it gets destroyed. :)

hayabusa_fmw:

so with the Drill bit it's useless?.

Havok:

You really should use a Greenlee punch, depending on the thickness of your control panel. Check this out:

Mouser

hayabusa_fmw:

thickness

hmm not sure

it's a original virtua fighter         US cabinet...

It's like drilling any metal base control panel like a streetfighter i presume...

the mouser you showed me Seems pricy a little i won't be doing this anytime soon . it's only for this cab.
