What exactly do you use to cut straight lines in an amp chassis? I want to install a IEC chassis plug so I need to free hand cut a squarish type hole for it like this...

I did mine by drilling small holes around the parimeter and then filing it out... Low-tech old school!

I was thinking there would be a Dremel bit that might work?

Dremel with a cutoff wheel. Wear safety glasses.
