I have some blank wall outlet cover plates, claiming to be "nylon".

Do you think I could punch a hole thru one of these with a chassis
punch, or is it likely to shatter?


It is hard to beat a sharp drill. I suppose you want a larger hole
than you have a drill for?


I have a nice hand reamer that can get me up to ~1/2", but I need 3/4"
this time. I may just have to hand file my way :-(

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
