Re: Using hole punches on die cast boxes
Thanks everyone for your replies. I will go the step/cone drill route, as I have one that will do 30mm.
I've just tried using a punch on a spare die cast box lid and it worked OK but I could see the lid deforming as I tightened the punch Allen screw. The punched-out circle was cracked into several pieces. I actually want to punch the holes in the box part, rather than a flat lid, and fear it might just crack or shatter under stress. At £20 for the box, I'll take the less risky option.
