I have a related question dealing with front panels - I have a steel chassis that has a black anodized aluminum faceplace that fits over the steel front plate, with a spacing between the two of about 1/4" -- this allows a professional looking product becuase it allows swithces and whatnot to be mounted on the rear (front) panel, and keeps unsightly nuts, washers, and tightening scratches off of the front panel. My problem is this -- on many pro units they use this same scheme, and cut small OVAL holes in the faceplate to accomodate the toggle switches - this looks great, and I'd like to do something similar - but HOW can I cut OVAL holes??? -- ================================================== [ Travis Stansbury, Yale University - ES '94 ] [ statraa@yalevm.ycc.yale.edu ] ==================================================
