I also prefer blunt drill bitsdouglash wrote:Dae - have you tried using a blunt drill bit before? it works really well, obviously you can't go faster, but the chances of you cracking the plexi are so much less...
I HATE buying new drill bits because i first have to make them blunt on my bench grinder before i can use them.
Sharp drill bits are from the devil, i'm telling you. Sharp Drill Bits + Plexi = sad case modder
That guy that used to mod cases. Now I take photos. True story.
One the quick question. When you cut slots in say a drive cage made of plex. What's the best way to sand the inside to get it smooth? Have thought of folding the paper and running with it, but el' problemo, not straight line.

get a small needle file,, it will fit in nicely. Hell, spring for a small diamond needle file and you can use it on anything them
Rob, for 8mm holes, I would buy a Step drill, they really are the best thing when drilling into plastic and alum. They make 100% round holes, and they work incredibly well when you need to make a hole bigger from say 5-10mm,
