Subject: [personal] Re: D-shell hole punches?
The RS Website gives http://www.alliedelec.com/ as their rep for Canada.
They (RS) still sell D hole punches in several forms including an hydraulic
hand tool.
The panel mount D shells do not have to be fitted to a D shaped hole.
As a manufacturer of many styles of panels with D connectors we never fit
them into D shaped holes.
If you have only a couple of holes to do, rectangular is much easier to cut
and file, we have cutout drawings if you want them.
I'm
looking for D-shell hole punches, for DB and DE shells, and
possibly DA as well - Greenlee is the name I know, but I daresay others
make them too. The major constraints: (a) the seller must ship to
Canada; (b) the seller must take phone or fax orders - I can tolerate
looking for things on the Web, but I will _not_ pay over the Web; (c)
they must be decent quality - no cheap knockoffs that break along about
