Re: Using hole punches on die cast boxes
I've used Qmax cutters for D-sub connectors in diecast boxes. Results have varied from nice metal that takes a clean shearing cut to stuff that crumbles and in-between is stuff that radiates tears from the die/punch.
Tapered reamers work nicely in diecast boxes, even the very zinc-y ones. the force is applied outwards, in the plane of the surface being cut.
Diecast boxes vary.
