Re: [motm] Drilling question

2003-02-05 by mate_stubb <mate_stubb@yahoo.com>

I'm probably too anal about it, but when I drill panels for folks I 
start with a center punch, then progress up through 5 bit sizes to 
keep the amount of metal being removed at any one time to a minimum. 
That way I don't have to tape the front.

When drilling MiniWave LED rows, I cheat - I had a steel template 
made that I can just clamp over the panel to ensure that the holes 
are lined up.

the light bar holes. The LED holes were too small to see what I was 
doing.
