Agree any destruction of an Ifone is good. My house is Android told the kids you bring an apple product here it will be smashed and if you do not like it go flatting. As well this house is a National house and we drive Ford cars.

I think this is a good idea . . . but use a 3/4" paddle bit (I'm not sure of the Sillimeter Value, (SV) - but it's bigger than an eyeball and smaller than an egg .

For the Kiwi equiv of 'paddle bit', you're on your own .

3/4" auger bit would do a much better job ;)

I sometimes use center dril (goo.gl)l (images) first, prior to drilling a hole. Don't know the effect if drilled through plastic would prevent catching, because the main body of center drill is essentially stuby straight/flush with minimal flutes/twirls. Maybe a step drill (goo.gl) (images) might also prevent catching, since also kind of flush/straight increasing concentric widths ("steps") i.e no twirled flutes.

It's called a negative rake - used for drilling things such as brass (or gun metal, a brass and copper mix used for bushes etc) .....and plastic

We used it for drilling Teflon and lead and pure copper too.

I tend to make some Zero Rake drills for working on celluloid used in guitar pickguards. It won't chip or gall and it's controllable so it doesn't dig in either.

Yeah --- I sharpen all my own drill bits, plane blades and saws, router bits, etc.

1426808 2016-10-03 00:53:00 Do you sharpen drill bits by eye, or do you have one of the widgets to do it ? 1101 (13337)
