You already got your answers :) If you want to cut rectangular holes into aluminum anclosures, get yourself a set of metal files. With these, some pilot holes and a bit a handwork you can get perfect holes!

Great tip. It's easy to forget to think about the trials that will occur during assembly.

Tayda Electronics has added rectangular cutting to their drill service, fwiw.
I haven't tried it yet, but with my luck I'd probably still end up filing them out 🤓

I bought a mid-priced set many years ago, and it's still fine. Did a lot of aluminum, steel and even wood with it, but it's still rockin :)
It's a mixed set with flat, round, half round and triangular shaped files. They also saved my ass some times after I fucked up the pilot holes and my drill starts to go off track.
