Samba Pa Ti Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 anyone know what size drillbit is needed for a stompbox switch ? the max size ive got is big enough for input/output jack sockets but not big enough for the stomp switch, i have been using a countersink bit to bore the hole out a bit more but thats a bit hit and miss.

dude Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 The ones on stewmac are 1/2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarter Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Don't know the size, but if your working with project boxes, a set of step bits is real handy for drilling thin wall material and would cover just about any size you would ever need. .

Dave_B Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've can confirm that I've drilled 1/2" holes for the common "Cliff" stomp switches (the blue ones). The note on my workbench says 12mm, or slightly less than .5" but with a washer it works out fine. As Quarter said, the step bits are a great way to go. Harbor Freight sells them cheap. There's no reason to invest in a pricier one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
