Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: 3 hp of space? suggestions

Grinding off 1HP off a 3HP panel would probably be easier than my  
paper cutter method. Trimming small bits off of small pieces is hard  
to do with the paper cutter (they tend to move around too much). It  
is much easier to trim off a 3HP piece from a much larger panel (say  
the back panel). The only concern with the grinder is it will get  
really, really, hot. Handle with care. And protect your ears! Nothing  
worse than the sound of grinding metal.
