[sdiy] Drilling holes

[James Patchell]

I was wondering about that myself...I have used banana jacks for various 
things for over 30 years...never had a single one break.

When I place a hole for a banana jack for front panel designer...I use 5/16 
inch for the hole size...and I also make it a double D with the flat parts 
.25 inches apart.  This is a snug fit..this helps keep the banana jacks 
from turning in their holes.
