This should help:

Distances on those strips are not metric, but 0.2 inches per hole...
It's an industrial standard, so looking up the datasheets made by Schroff, Rittal, Fischer etc. should give you the same info as the Doepfer page...
Where you actually drill the holes on your panel is up to you as long as the distances are multiples of 0.2" and the first hole is 7.5mm from the left (allowing for panel width and mounting tolerances)...
Hope this makes things clear.

Hi!
I meant the mounting screws for mounting the panels into the rack. I have rack combination from Schneiders Buro.
This is what I'm using,
http://www.schneidersladen.de/gewindestreifen-m3-gewinde-2
So far, I've made the holes on the panels at x-0.6 and 0.9cm, y-0.4cm. It works this way, then I'll have some free space to move to fit the screws on the rails. But is there another way of calculating them?
Though i'm using the Buchla kind of panels, but my panels are not all at 4.25inches. they are also at 1.75, 2.25, 2.5 etc....
best
Dennis
