Expanding sub cutout on a box
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8488 Registered: Jul-06 | So I've got a prefab sealed box thats the right size for my Fi Qs and I want to use it for temporary until I get my custom box. Problem is the cutouts are a bit too small..... what should I use to expand them. I have a drill and I can buy an attachment or something at the hardware store...... somebody give me a hand here I don't do wood work. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8492 Registered: Jul-06 | I'd say it's about 1/4 inch all around..... so is there something I can get for the drill? cause i'd really like to not spend much. |

Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audible Insanity]- Post Number: 2271 Registered: Mar-07 | Just buy some 40grit sandpaper and go to town with it if you're looking for the cheap way out. Some places actually sell a sandpaper bit. I own a few different ones and they are awesome for stuff like this. |

Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audible Insanity]- Post Number: 2272 Registered: Mar-07 | I've done it for an old box of mine. Worked perfect. Of course, it is always nice to have a jigsaw laying around too... |

You WILL need it again in life. Sandpaper is torturous and anything you put on a drill will make the box look like Ray Charles did the job.  |
