Drilling holes in pedaltrain for Neutrik jacks

Does someone know what drillbit is best for this?  Does anyone know where you can buy a pedaltrain with the jacks already installed?

Re: Drilling holes in pedaltrain for Neutrik jacks

I would use a step drill bit, and drill the hole to size from each side. A twist drill will grab when the point breaks through, and can cause the drill to wrench out of your hands.

You can get a set of two stepped drill bits from Harbor Freight for like $15.

 

They are great for drilling pedal enclosures too. (Harbor Freight even has a serviceable drill press for like $70ish, but that wouldn't be useful for the pedaltrain)

Those jacks are these:

with a little moulded plastic border added. I would route the Pedaltrain slats out and just drill the holes for the screws on the corners of the jacks.
