New project stuff maybe?

I have the luxury of a milling machine in the shop (manual, not CNC). If I had this problem to solve, I think instead of counterboring individual holes, I might just flip the box on it's face and mill the whole inside surface down to standard thickness.

On a CNC if I'm milling a whole enclosure it's an extra 30 seconds of work to program in counterbores with the same center point as the holes and maybe an extra couple minutes of milling, I would be more likely to go the counterbore route.

All this is currently moot for me as I don't yet have a jig big enough to hold a 1590DD, so that would probably be the precursor to solving this problem.
 
Revised boards are 64% finished in fabrication, which is a little frustrating because everything else is finished and now the Uberschall is holding everything else up :confused: I'm not surprised, this is what they said would happen, I'm just impatient.

Not really a problem assuming you have a drill with a collet big enough to handle 12mm.

If you look at the dimensions of the bits @Paradox916 posted though the M6 one has an 11mm blade diameter and the M8 has a 14mm blade diameter. Those would certainly do the trick.

I misplaced my calipers so I still haven't measured the walls of this enclosure I have on hand. Next week I'll be less stressed and have more free time, I'll try to get stuff done. My band's EP just dropped today and we're playing a release party tomorrow, so naturally my guitarist's rig died. The venue has a backline amp so he can use that, but he uses a Victory V4 preamp for most of his tones and it's on the fritz right now, so I'm building him a Black Eye to use in its place.

So if you're in the Chicago area (*cough* @jhaneyzz and @Gordo *cough*) I'm going to be playing Montrose Saloon in Chicago saturday night, doors at 6:30, first band at 7:00, we go on at 9:00.

I'll check my schedule and see if I can make Saturday work downtown. If Gordo hasn't had his fill of my company from our Guitar Geekfest & Talent Barter he might be interested as well.

And FYI...

I literally have my Black Eye right here on my board and I'm like 3 miles from you, so there is that option..

Too late, it was last Saturday :p We are playing again this Thursday at the unsigned artist showcase at Artifact Events downtown, but traffic around there is always garbage so I wouldn't fault you for not coming.

They're called Serrated Washers. I use 12mm Stainless version. They're a little large for the shaft of the switch so I put a wrap of solder wire as a bushing to kinda keep it centered.
