Drilling holes using a hand drill
Does anyone have any tips for drilling holes when making chassis plates using a hand drill? My holes never seem to come out round and are never where i want them to be, even when centre punching and starting off with a small bit.
I've been tempted to buy myself a pillar drill, but was wondering if anyone could give me some advice before i do?.

i have got one of these. good enough for chassis plates http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/pr...illing-systems another option is to use stepped cone drill bits as they cut differently to conventional bits. http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-A...Set-576690.htm

Yup pillar drill is the answer. I have a small six speed unit in the workshop from Aldi and it works just fine plus all their electrical stuff has a three year guarantee. Only downside with Aldi kit is it only comes in about once in six months.
