Hello,
a bit of a practical problem here. I have several 1U rack cases where I have to mount the toroid in with the center bolt to the bottom of the case. The thing is, this bolt is just way too big fat one, and the case bottom would become lop-sided and won't actually quite fit in a rack either.
I was thinking of making a dent in the case bottom, where the hole for the bolt will be. But how to make this dent cleanly? I've seen this kind of dents in many cases in all kinds of electronics. How do they do that?
Say, a dented circle, diameter of maybe 2-4cm, depth maybe 5mm?
(then finally a drilled hole in the middle)
