I could use a more controllable drilling device though.

And a bit less of the devils brew

The score marks are trying to use a centre drill before the 6.5mm drill. They wouldn't cut but preferred to dance all over the metal. Just using the 6.5mm drill gave better results.

Score marks ?? - looks more like promising modern art to me. Banksy had better up his game.

Center punch and a strurdy whack with a hamer will help keep the bit in place

I did that. They were well whacked with a hammer on a punch. I suspect the mill scale on that metal is very hard.

The centre drill still walked all over the metal. OK the centre drills were made of Chinesium...

But so was the 6.5mm cobalt steel drill. It didn't walk all over the metal.

I need something more rigid than my arms and hands to hold the drill in place.

Ah, you mean a younger man's hands, or perhaps a child's?

Come on, I have to go through doors when they open!!!

If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked that...

My manual skills have never existed... Even when I was a wean.

I see TW is on form tonight - I will have to be careful when I post.

Not impressed. The paint on my green Dead Rabbit sq has started to peel off before my green Basium Squonk mod arrives
