Re: Surprising workmanship.
My favorite expression which has saved me a red face many times is "If you make a mistake make a feature out of it" Just like Ken has done, would you know that was a mistake?

Re: Surprising workmanship.
However much I measure and dot punch the holes never come out where I want them. But if you want triangular shaped holes drilling I'm your man!

Re: Surprising workmanship.
Whenever I cut multiple holes in a box, it's always the last one that's wrong!

Re: surprising workmanship
It appears that the cutouts are oversized and the offset is caused by the first
connector being located fully down and the second one fully up. Nandu.

Re: Surprising workmanship.
If you did the last hole first you may avoid the error !
