<DIV><FONT face=Arial>That can be tough. I use my ShopSmith for that type of
drilling task. You can do horizontal drilling with it. It allows you to clamp
the leg (or whatever) securley to the table and then drill away. Maybe you
know someone with a ShopSmith?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello list,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been trying to modify three legs for new
casters. It required that I cut the legs short by 1.2 inch to maintain
hight(done). In addition it requires that I enlarge the
existing .86 inch hole to 2 1/8 inch at .25 inch
deep.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In addition the existing .86 hole needs to be
deeper by 1.5+ inch but it is oversize by about .085 inch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have tried using my drill press and a
forstner bit for the large shallow hole but could find no way to secure
the leg enought to get it started.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did attach 1/8 birch plywood to the surfact
to locate the center and attempt to get the big bit started but the ply
keeps splitting. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Possibly my new bit from Harbor Freight needs
to be better quality?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas would be helpful.</FONT></DIV>
