DRILL GUIDE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRINTING DRILL GUIDE
NOTE… This drawing contains layers. Turn off all layers except instructions, turrets, jumpers, screws, and pass-thru holes.
Board size is 3 1/8" X 12". Print two copies of this drill guide FULL SIZE on legal sized paper. One copy will be used as a drill guide. The other
copy will be used for installing jumpers. Measure the board length of the printout to verify it is 12". Attach to blank board using double sided
carpet tape. Use a center punch to put a mark at the cross hairs of each turret, standoff, and hole. Use a 3/32" drill bit to drill all holes. Then
enlarge holes as needed for screws and wire pass thru.
