Title: Hole Sizes
Post by: MarkB on February 20, 2004, 11:27:19 AM

I know I've seen it around here... can't seem to find it.

Is there a reference somewhere that has all the proper hole-sizes to drill for various switches/pots/jacks?

Particularly - I need the proper size for the blue 3pdt footswitch, but I'd like to have a reference for all of them.

Thanks!!

Mini toggles 1/4
Mini Alpha 16mm pots 9/32
Full size Alpha 24mm pots 5/16
Switchcraft Jacks 3/8
Stomp switch 15/32

Hope this helps, Ed R.

Thanks Ed!!

the StompSwitches, are you using the blue 3pdt? or are they all kinda the same size?

Just measure the diameter of your stuff with a calliper, and drill slightly larger than that. ;)

maybe this should go in the FAQ forum.

Mark B,

Yes, I'm using blue 3PDT.

If you use a 1/2 unibit, the 2nd biggest step is 15/32.
I also forgot- the dc power jacks I use (Fulltone style)
are 1/2.
