Re: [motm] Stooge [panels] Drilling Holes

2003-08-01 by elhardt@att.net

>>The reason I've given up drilling holes in Stooge panels is that I don't 
have a drill press, and a punch and hand drill did not produce results that I 
was proud of.<<

Just wanted to say that I'm able to drill beautiful and professional looking 
holes with a hand drill by using one of those odd looking drill bits (forgot 
what they're called) that looks like an stack of increasing sized cylinders. 
One bit can drill many different sized holes depending to what cylinder size 
you drill up to on the bit. And because there is an angled section between 
each cylinder size, that part works great for taking off any rough edge on 
the back of the drilled hole. No filing needed. I used it on LH's 822's. I'll 
also be using it for drilling Midi connector holes in synths.
