Default Re: Enlarging an existing hole in a steel chassis.

Just to put this one to bed, and thanking all contributors for their thoughts and experiences.... I did eventually purchase a cone drill set - but decided against using it in case it "grabbed" at the metal and distorted the hole.
In the end, I placed a card template over each hole to define the new diameter required and reamed the hole out gradually with an abrasive drum on my Dremel. Worked quite satisfactorily.
