<div dir="ltr">Hi, <div>This is a general request for assistance with a project I'm working on. </div><div><br></div><div>I started making my own guitar pedals a year ago and for my next project, I've decided that I'd like to use slide
pots instead of the usual rotary potentiometers. One difficulty, is that while
drilling holes to mount rotary pots is trivial, I have no idea how to cut the
slots through which the faders will move.</div><p class="MsoNormal"></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My first idea was to use a drill / file / jiggsaw combo, but
there has to be a better way…</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Would a laser cutter be a good option? Can I pay anyone to
do this in town? What kind of file do I need to create to get this kind of work done?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Any help would be appreciated, </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, </p><p class="MsoNormal">Sylvain</p></div>
