Martyd3 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I was reading about reamer style drill bits, which are designed to increase the size of an existing hole and I decided to give one a try. They are not cheap ... about $10 plus shipping, but it was worth it. The bit cut a much cleaner hole very quickly. I bought mine here. http://www.bibbtool.com/yankee-cobalt-spir...mer-p-3115.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Nice, Marty! Great tip. Did you use a press, or freehand? Was there no problem starting the hole with the blunt tip? (I like to drill the lug holes freehand, and I'd be just a little afraid of the bit wandering across my case...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I like to drill the lug holes freehand, and I'd be just a little afraid of the bit wandering across my case...) I cheat a little. I use a Dremel drill press. If you clamp everything down tight and take your time, it works fine. I don't think you can drill the holes freehand. You will end up enlarging the hole and will probably break off a bit in the process. If you want to have some real fun, just try getting a broken bit out of the hole http://www.mytoolstore.com/dremel/drillprs.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
