    Db25 Panel Mount

    Ok, ended up just mounting from the outside, tried several things to get a clean hole and nothing worked. Ended up drilling small holes with the drill and then cleaning them up with the dremel and a router bit, and then doing some filing to finalize the hole. Turned out pretty well. Oh and the...

What are my options, maybe grinding down the thickness where the...
