Re: Cutting the hole for a slide switch
Another issue I see with re-using the switch body is that when you file out the hole, likely you will end up filing away some of the inner perimeter of the rectangle in the switch plate, at least filing off the electroplating (these are usually steel) so then it would rust unless it was painted.
But if it is a common garden switch and you have lots of them, it hardly matters to use one as a template so it is a good idea that saves time and gives a neat & tidy result.
