There's no rush to get it drilled. Stepping up the size slowly will take an extra 5 minutes. Time well spent. Stan Sutterfield _www.rv-8a.net_ (http://www.rv-8a.net) Do not archive I'm ready to drill the bolt holes through the F445 Bearing Blocks, but I'm concerned about the possibility of the drill bit walking and the hole being way off location when it breaks through the other side even though I used my protractor to set the drill press table normal to the drill line. I have considered using a 3/16" spur point drill to make a pilot hole and then opening up with a #10 per instructions. Seems like that might work better than just punching through with a #10 in one shot. Am I over analyzing this? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:29:43 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: Re: RV8-List: Drilling Flap Bearing Blocks Agreed. Start small and work your way up. Also, make sure its clamped to the table REALLY well. I have a huge scar on my hand from where I didn't... ;-) Matt Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's RV-8 Construction Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: Enjoying The Fruits of 2500 Hours of Labor...
