I just started using a Greenlee hole punch. It is so much easier than a unibit. I used it on a steel chassis and it was like buttah.Yeah, the round holes were easy, but I wasn't on my game when I did some of them with the UniBit. Went just a hair too far and some of the holes ended up with a bit of uneven chamfer around the holes. Should have thought to do them from the back side then the outside edges would have been square. Will be fine with paint and tubes installed, just a lesson learned.
The IEC power inlet I used a drill bit with closely matching radius in all four corners, then connected the dots with a coping saw, and finish fit with Dremel.
I need to figure out how I will do the one-side-flat hole for the fuseholder though.
OTOH, the paint match of the repainted Hammond choke end bells looks like a respectable, although perhaps not perfect, match to the Edcor OPTs (I think they are actually powder coated). To me it looks closer in match in person. Angle/reflections/lighting is tricky.
If you use the full rubber layer and only cut the holes needed for wiring and screws it will be stiffer.
If you don't have them, get some nice Nicholsen or German files. The euro ones are quite expensive and the Nicholsen last a lifetime if you care for them.The IEC receptacles are a bit of a story too.
While I ordered two nice EMI-filtered Corcoms, I inadvertently picked rear mount instead of front mount. The cutout/hole work is fully exposed, if not highlighted, by the fitment of the receptacle into the hole (but, yes, on the back).
On the fuse holder, I did the primary hole like you described just hadn't settled on if I would try to file, Dremel, saw, or what combination thereof to achieve the flat and final ID.
