 |

Greetings
I have tried various types of drill stops but today stumbled onto the perfect stop. I had been drilling with a small piece of rubber tubing pushed up next to the chuck. I thought what would be simpler if there was a disc of some sort that would drop down on my fingers. I had some small 1 1/4" discs that I had cut out of thin plastic. I slipped the clear disc on the drill bit and pushed another small piece of rubber tubing to keep it in place. You can hold the material down with the flat of your hand and drill between two fingers. When you break through the plastic disc drops harmlessly and painlessly on to your fingers. I am in the process of skinning my left wing and this system works great on large expanses of metal requiring numerous holes. The disc can be of any material, I used lexan as it was already made. Just make sure it has smooth edges so as not to harm you fingers.
Just had to pass this on.
Happy drilling
