I'm a great admirer of all the fantastic DIY projects that go on within the PFM community and would love to get more involved myself. I am competent with a soldering iron, but the blocker for me is the mechanical side of things. As such, I thought I'd ask for some advice on how people tackle this side of things.
Specifically, I would like to know how people cut holes in enclosures for panel mounting things such as IEC sockets? What tools do people use for this and where are good places to get enclosures from?
In terms of a toolkit, I already have: soldering iron, de-solder pump, wire cutters / strippers. I am going shopping for more tools tomorrow. Are there any specific items people would recommend?
Many thanks for any help
