How it works

From idea to drill template in minutes

No guesswork, no graph paper. Just open the app, place your holes, and print.

1

Choose your enclosure

Pick from standard Hammond sizes — 1590A, 1590B, 125B, BB, and more — or enter any custom width and height. The canvas updates instantly.

2

Place your holes

Drag to position pots, jacks, switches, and LEDs. Fine-tune exact mm coordinates in the properties panel. Align, snap, and distribute with one click.

3

Export and drill

Download a to-scale PDF drill template, export a clean SVG for laser cutting, or grab a DXF file for your CNC or CAD workflow.

Features

Everything you need for clean builds

Built specifically for stompbox makers, with the precision and workflow a hobbyist actually needs.

Millimetre precision

Set hole positions to 0.01 mm with direct coordinate inputs. Real-time measurement lines show exact spacing between holes as you work.

Enclosure presets

1590A, 1590B, 125B, 1590BB, and more standard Hammond sizes built in. Or enter any custom dimension for a non-standard enclosure.

PDF drill templates

Export a true-to-scale PDF you can print directly and use as a drilling guide. Includes hole diameters, labels, and a reference table.

SVG export

Export a clean vector SVG for laser cutting or further editing in Inkscape, Illustrator, or any vector tool.

DXF export

Export geometry as a DXF file ready for CNC machining or import into any CAD software. Go straight from layout to fabrication.

Image overlays

Import your PCB layout or component drawings as a reference layer. Scale and position it to align holes with perfect accuracy.

Alignment & distribution

Select multiple holes and align them to edges, centres, or distribute them evenly with one click. Snap to grid for consistent spacing.

Shareable layouts

Make any project public and share it with a link. Let others view your layout or clone it as the starting point for their own build.

Component library

Save multi-hole groups as reusable components — footswitches, jacks, pot clusters — and place them in any project with one click.

Embeddable widget

Embed a layout preview on your product page with a single <iframe> tag. Perfect for PCB suppliers and kit retailers. Learn more →
