Hi... I'm building a mixer with 51X cards and now I have to drill all the mounting holes in the front plates, I'm thinking in some kind of stencil and then just put the sheet in it and drill.
I have a drill press and a cross press on it, so I can put the drill just in place, but for such repetitive task I guess would be much better have such stencill...
Any recomendations to do such thing? Anyone have made something like this,?
Will be a 16 channel mixer with 8 sub/masters and 2 slots for monitoring so I have to do about 150 holes like that for black pannels (26ch, 2 51X slots and 1 for mixer) then I will filling them as I build the EQs and Comps. so I think a good stencil is the way to go, I just don't know how to do it good.
Thanks.

[EDIT] With stencil I mean a metal sheet with the hole in place and a rule on it that stop the front pannel in place, so it's just put the pannel in it and pull the drill...
