Mounting PCB's

[quote author="kato"]Here's a newbie question:

How do you countersink your standoffs into the bottom of the unit?

I've used a countersink for wood. But what kind of tool do you use to countersink into metal. I imagine you have to be pretty precise to avoid drilling right through the metal.

Any links to tools or parts would be appreciated.[/quote]

Also great for $60 drill presses and cheap step bits. :razz:

What height should the pcb support have?
Seems like those self-adhesive nylon stands are a good choice.
