How do I cut square holes ?

As I always I would tape off the section that you want to cut out and then use a Rotozip to cut it out. Good luck!!If your counting pennies and dimes then maybe you shouldn't be spending every penny and dime you have!!

what i do is similar to previous responded. but i use a dremmel. tape off area, make a square in marker on tape than cut hole smaller and use a file for the rest. to make it fit perfect. takes some extra time but if you worried about outcome than that is what is required. never use dremmel for entire cut if you want piece to look good no gaps etc. use dremmel for most than file rest and test fit every so offten. ps you dont want it to tight because it sometimes pinches the switch and the contacts get messed up depending on switch make it snug but not to tight were you have to force it in.Jon

mecp certification is not always needed. I have it and it has not helped me out at all. my experience out shines it.

Depending on how large the area to be cut you could drill a hole in the panel and shave with a razor knife. You could also try using a plastic cutting tip on a soldering iron, you would also need to clean it up with a razor.Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

Use a template to insure accuracy and consistent results. Use a piece of metal and drill a hole in it. File the hole slowly so that it is the exact shape and size you need it to be. Clamp the metal template to the piece that you need to mount switch holes in and use a dremel to cut the holes. The hole in the template will not allow the dremel to wander. Fine tune the corners with a small file to get them square. Take your time and the edges will look great.sparky
