Square hole for building electrical distribution box

Square hole for building electrical distribution box

Produce a 6mm pilot hole in the wall to locate the position, remove the bulk of the material with the round cutter to the required depth, then square off the hole using either the square cutter or the 80mm wide chisel, depending on the hardness of material. It takes the incoming power and safely distributes it to different circuits throughout your building. Choosing the correct electrical box dimensions is essential for safe wiring, code compliance, and long-term reliability. In this post we look at how its possible to drill a square hole for installation of an electrical socket box.
