[sdiy] Drilling 'square' holes

[Scott Bernardi]

If the square hole you need is at least 3/8" across, you can get a
"nibbler" tool for around $10; you first drill a 3/8" hole, then put the
head of the nibbler tool through it, and you can then "bite" little
square chunks out of the PCB and form your square hole.
