Best way to make pushbutton holes larger?
Xiaou2:
Microplane drums. 1" diameter is $10.99 at woodcraft.
Blanka:
Is it metal or wood. If wood, you might have succes with a regular spade bit if you put a dummy sheet underneath to put the center pin in.
dailygeek:
wood with lexan on top.

drums, and it would take about 4hrs to do.

10 sanding drums and 4 hours for a couple of millimeters? perhaps your technique differs from mine but I made 16 button holes and 2 joystick holes a couple millimeters bigger in about 20 minutes using 1 sanding drum.

I would probably cut the correct hole size in a piece of scrap MDF and center it over the existing hole using carpet tape. Then whip out the router with a flush cutting bit and open it up that way.
Or use a 1/2 round file.
