The length of cable must be long, otherwise wouldn't 8-3 do? Enlarging
hole is easy using rimmer, cabinet is not really heavy gauge steel.
I assume you mean a reamer - which leaves all kinds of conductive
swarf all through the panel. The only RIGHT way to do it is with a
"knoclut punch" - aften referred to by the most common brand - a
"greenlee punch" Any electrician worth his salt will have one. All you
get that way is a metal ring.
HF sells step bits which can be used to enlarge
the hole. Of course, you need a shopvac in action
at the same time to catch the chips.
Instead of a rimmer, use a knoclut punch. Amazing,
one good misssspelled word desserves anothher.
