Modular Synth Panels

Home Depot (or Lowes or whatever) will also sell plastic drill-size gages.
These are about 1/8" thick molded pieces of plastic with holes in graduated
sizes. A lot of them also have thread gages -- handy things to have.

You could walk over to the tool section and check before you go through the
checkout line.
