I've got one for a DB-25 - you're welcome to if that'll work for you.... I was lucky - I found it in a surplus store.

They're scarce. And, as you say, expensive. Best bet (if the metal isn't too thick) is to use a nibbbler tool to make the square opening (measure on the short side) and use a file to get the longer side. You can also use a drill to hog out most of the cutout and go from there. No matter what, it'll be some work ..... but I doubt that you'll be able to make enough DB cutouts to justify the punch.
Linn ..... always done it the hard way.

That price is ridiculous. Use a drill, Dremel and needle file and be done in 15 minutes. That is, unless you need 20+...

Couldn't agree more - but that's the going rate pretty much everywhere I've looked. The problem is my panel is already installed and I just don't want metal shavings flying around my instruments.
