Faceplate "MODS"
I need to bore out the holes on my faceplate about an extra millimeter or so for the LEDS....I can't get the damn things to all line up perfectly and so the faceplate doesn't lower down all the way, so the buttons are usable, but basically flush with the top of the face plate, which is lame. Is a drill press the best thing to use for doing this? or a dremel or flame thrower or what?
id suggest bending the leds around before drilling out the plate
if you have to drill out the plate use a hand reamer
but if you dont have one of those a drill press would be best
and if you dont have one of those a regular hand drill would work
for the cleanest holes set the drill to very high speed and
feed the bit in very slowly
