<DIV></DIV>>I found it is absolutely necessary to use guide holes when drilling plastic. I
<DIV></DIV>>use a perfboard clamped to the plastic as guide. I drill the initial holes with
<DIV></DIV>>a #60 drill. I widen the holes with an 1/8th inch bit.

<P>The real trick to drilling plastics is use a slow setting & take your time ... it may take longer to get it done, but it'ld be sweet to have lights glowing from within' your synth (clear plastic, why not make it look cooler ?)</P>
