I debated on whether to have plate through holes drilled. Everything else I've done had them, but I wanted these boards to be mounted directly to the cabinet wall with just a gasket to prevent vibration. I suppose the component leads could have been cut flush, and there's no real harm in sharp edges from the tips piercing into the gaskets, but that was my concern. My thought was that having no plate through holes would ensure a smooth mounting surface.
