Some additional information on cutting holes.......I have seen holes 
cut in a chassis (upside down) with a fine tooth 1/16" blade in a jig 
saw but would think that to be difficult. I have used the old technique 
of drilling numerous holes just inside the perimeter and using a 
large reamer from Sears to smooth it out (or a file) ....but requires
access to a good drill press and the hole is not that clean. Also 
have used an adjustable circle cutter bit which worked out quite 
well, but definitely requires a drill press with variable speed. 

Most of the time I borrowed chassis punches.

Maybe there are some other ideas out there ??

Hello All,

Bill Hopkins here, AA2YV in Rochester NY.  I have been collecting some
parts from several of you over the last two years.  Since I teach during
the winter, my only time to build is in the summer.  I hope to begin
working on the rig this summer.  That means I will be sending out lots of
SOS's to you as I go.  My trouble will be that I do not have much test
equipment to test out certain circuits as I build them.  I would love to
have an oscilliscope.  I saw one at the Buffalo hamfest last week for 10
dollars. It went only up to 5 MhZ.  Guess I should have picked it up
anyway.
What I will need is a set of hole cutting tools.  Where could I get some
that would not cost me an arm and a leg?
