Tool to create professional IEC chassis cut-out...


Hello,

I am curious if anyone knows a source for a tool to create IEC block (for 15 amp detachable power cord) cut-out hole in metal chassis? I know many folks just use a dremmel motor tool to "nibble" a hole, but I'm looking for something that is purpose-designed and will provide professional-looking results.

As an example, such a tool would be invaluable for adding high-quality detachable power cord to Dyna gear, as well as other vintage tube equipment which is popular for rebuild / upgrade DIY projects. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Be very careful, I added IEC sockets on a pair of monoblocks I had, well they’re in there but a little unsightly. That being said I would recommend having it professionally done if at all possible, my screw up has inhibited the sale of my amps(fortunately they are cheap enough it isn’t a big deal), almost a shame! Good luck with it.
