[sdiy] IEC punch

[Thomas Hudson]

Yes, but they are very expensive. I've sometimes seen them on ebay,  
but they always bid up higher than I'm willing to pay.

Here's a site that has them new ($371.80 yikes). Scroll down to part  
number 60031:

You can also use a 3/4" square punch and make two punches. Those can  
be found on ebay for a lot cheaper. Search for "square chassis punch".
