That's what the linked-to tool is designed to do; and it has a guide right next to the bolt head to hold the drill on-center to the corner. Seems to me that even a cobalt bit is going to grab the corner of the bolt head and bind or break; unless you grind a small flat for the bit to start into. -- Randall _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive |
