Hi All,
I need to place a series of LED's (3 and 5 mm) in a think aluminum front panel (10 mm) and I'm not sure how to do this the right way. I would like the LED's to stick out slightly (the round part).
Is drilling a through hole of 5 mm (for a 5 mm LED) followed by expanding this hole to 6 mm to the desired depth (a few mm before the front) the way to go or is there a simpler way?
Thanks in advance,
Nic
