I would suggest to make the holes slightly bigger, 0,15mm should be fine. Regarding your second question you can just leave 15mm from the left/right border and you should be good to go
Hi Gianluca - The Deluxe chassis cutouts are exactly what I am looking to do. Which "drilling panel" entry do I select on the order and at what quantity, 1 or 2?Hi Glen,
Sure, I'll send them to you by PM on monday morning as soon as I am back to office. We have drilled some rear panels with the same cut-outs of the Deluxe chassis, I'll share that file with you as well so that should help you finish your project
I placed my order! I decided not to drill the LED hole on the front panel. I left notes in comments along with my diyaudio username. Thanks again! -Glen1 up to 20 holes and (2/3/4mm panel) and 1 up to 3 holes (10mm panel)
Mouser sells some very nice anti-vandal switches with 1 or 2 LED lights in them. Here is the link for the one that I bought a few months ago; https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetai...B6uO5NlYgSg==&countryCode=US¤cyCode=USDHello,
I am sure this has been asked before, but I am interested in front switch on the Deluxe 4U aluminum chassis. Something similar to that on the ACA chassis front panel, of course a switch properly selected for AC voltage and current. Is it possible to customize the front panel for this?
Thanks
David
Thanks. That is great to know. I am still deciding on a switch, one of the push button Anti-Vandal switches from TE or ESwitch that can be installed on a 10mm panel should work perfectly and is AC rated at 16A (I think the switch on the ACA chassis is a LV DC rated switch). Still working how that would effect use of the back of the front panel for mounting boards to find the best location, but should be very close to placing an order and customization request. I will send a drawing of the switch I intend to use with the order, as well as the location (dead center may impact panel utilization).I assume you are talking about this? If so, it's definitely possible to do it!
If you want a hole for a different switch feel free to send me the technical drawing for it
Thanks. I was thinking the same, only AC rated.Mouser sells some very nice anti-vandal switches with 1 or 2 LED lights in them.

This is a great switch with red (standby) and green (on) LEDs. It fits perfectly in a 5/8" or 16mm hole.
