Power Transformer

Power Transformer

I knew where I wanted the power transformer - close to the back and to one side. This way it could be far away from sensitive components (i.e., input) and it would get support from being near two edges.

I practiced cutting the rectangle out on some scrap with a drill and fret saw.

Then, using the transformer, I drew drilling guides on the chassis for the cut out and the mounting studs.

Using a step bit I drilled the larger cutout corners and drew lines to follow with the saw.

Using the saw I cut out the rectangle and later filed it smooth

Then I test fit the transformer.
