Hi Gene You seem to be making a real meal out of a DB9 slot Why not just make the cutout this shape; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10PCS-Full-Height-serial-port-Bracket-for-DB9-DB15-DB25-interface-Computer-Case-PCI-slot-baffle/32880851198.html
easier to assemble can invert plug later if you wish easier to machine On Mon, 17 Dec 2018 at 00:28, Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > Greetings all; > > I found I have a 4mm mill, which will give a closer match to the rounded > corner radius of the db pattern. > > In laying out the cuts to do a db25 length pattern, I am mirroring 1/2 > of the max overall length of of the wider top, which is 1.537" including > the tool diameter of 0.157480314961 that needs to be subtracted from > that overall length.
