Phantom Scroller Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Here is the reason why your holes should be cut at 90 degrees and not with a hand drill. The holes come out the other side and you can't cut the pattern. See we all make mistakes that's how we learn. It was a day I thought I'd be clever and just drill the holes with the drill instead of my pillar drill. oops. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Scroller Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thats a purdy good dragonfly but why did you give a sermon on drilling holes? Larry If you look close enough Larry you'll see some holes right next to the cut or half way into a cut, so if you turned it over it would be in the right position but if I cut them they would go straight into the other cut and drop out so they have been drilled at the wrong angle. hence sermon.

vykus Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't have a drill press or anything like that so all of my holes are done with either a hand drill or a small pin vise for the really small ones. I use both hands and go very slowly. I have had very few problems, thankfully. you just have to be patient and very observant.

Phantom Scroller Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Matt I agree with you if your doing just one but this was stack cut off three and you will need a good eye and steady hand to drill the three without going out if the cuts are so close together if you know what I mean, if the cuts were further apart it wouldn't make any difference. Thanks for the feed back folks. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 That was one of the reasons I went out and got myself a drill press. The other reason was because I was breaking a lot of drill bits. Marg Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab4 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi Roly: After looking at your picture with your mask on, I couldn't resist on trying my pattern making skills How did I do? Fab4 Actually, I cannot tell a lie This pattern was done for me a few years ago to add to my Darth Vader collection I'm still at the learning stage for pattern making. But if I would make the pattern this is what I would have done Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkey Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks for posting this Roly. I am getting ready to do a stack cut of a 10" saw blade with a Bass in it and need to have some accurate drill holes. I just dug out the old 4" drill press.

spirithorse Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) There are attachments available for hand drills and dremel tools to replace a drill press. I tried to include a direct link to a picture but, it would not attach. I just searched HAND DRILL ATTACHMENTS and found pics of the spring loaded machine that you attach your hand drill to.

keefie Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Roly - try using wood without it being infested with woodworm !!!!! :razz: Seriously though, been there seen it and done it, thats why I invested £20 on a plunge router attatchment for my dremmel - best piece of kit I bought in a long time (except my ex21 lol) it works perfectly and there's no pillar to work around either.
