by hose saw I'm guessing you mean hole saw? Sure as long as it's a blade for cutting metal. Just be sure to cut smaller than you need rather than cutting to big.

I wouldnt suggest a hole saw...those have the tendancy to skip around on metal.....a hole punch yes....but a set costs money if you dont already own it. I would suggest a Uni-bit and then file
I thought you might be. I'm a photographer myself, minus the tool set.Quote:

The Arcade buttons JUST FIT!
Cut ONE cable at a time...as not to get lost in which is which.
There are these riser \spacer\ lug type thing that needs to come out too when you cutting the holes...pliers....
:)
any one have a measurement on what size hole it has to be?
ive got a drill press and a vice (used for machining) that i would expect to work pretty well.
never occurred to me you were a photog - wow i am stupid :pQuote:

The holes were a lot easier to do than i thought they'd be.
I did my Arcade button mod on my VCI 100 at the weekend, I took lots of photos of the process here. http://www.djtechtools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34169
