- DIY methods for drilling enclosures. The goal is to use as many common (or at least inexpensive) tools necessary to build pedals. You're not going to get professional results without mounting jigs, a drill press, and years of experience, but that doesn't mean you can't do a GREAT job at home!
Specific tools used in this video, but anything similar will do:
Irwin Quick-Grip 4" Clamps
DeWALT DCD777 cordless drill
Irwin Unibit #1
General Tools Center Punch

exactly the info i needed and nothing more. i didn't know the point of the step bit was to save bit switching, i might skip buying one now.
thanks!
Excellent video, perfectly explained process (as always, in this channel).
Please, make some more stuff regarding pedals' enclosures. Your help is really valuable.
Thank you for this video, I was wondering if I could use aluminium enclosures instead of platic ones with the tools I have; also, great job for promoting safety measures 🙂
Thanks for sharing.
What size step bit are you using? What’s generally the largest hole you would have to drill in any pedal enclosure?
Irwin UniBit #1. Most pedal applications will never need greater than 1/2".
Can I change the center punch for a 3mm drill? I’ve never heard about this tool.
The center punch is for marking a spot to drill and to help keep the drill bit from wandering for more accurate drilling. It's an inexpensive tool, I'd highly recommend picking one up!
@@StompBoxParts , I can’t find it here, how about using a screw and a small hammer?
@@zelimamata That would be a perfect workaround.
is there any reason to use a drill instead of an impact driver?
You could use an impact driver, it could be done. But a drill is the correct tool for making holes. Comes down to control, speed, pressure. Ideally drilling at a slow speed with controlled pressure for clean holes, where most impacts are very fast and if there's resistance it's just going to bang through. If all you have on hand is the impact, worth a shot.
@@StompBoxParts i never really learned the difference i guess
No oil to lubricate the bit?
Definitely couldn't hurt! Won't say it's necessary, though.
Good for the longevity of the bit but you do need to ensure you clean the lube off well before you paint it.
Kinda like prom.
I think you can do it yourself, just watch and learn from Woodglut.
