Default Re: Cutting the hole for a slide switch

This is indeed a useful tip: I've got a collection of old/scrap components like this which I use as templates.

Another useful tip: if you're throwing out an old, stripped-for-spares radio chassis, cut out the plate (a plunge-saw is ideal for this) that mounts the tuning-capacitor and keep it with the capacitor - then when you come to re-use said capacitor in some future project you've got the hole-drilling template ready and waiting.
