Hello Coilers,

Here's a little tip that may save you a lot of grief when it comes
to drilling holes in plastic.  Buy yourself a "Unibit" or stepped
type bit, sold under a number of generic brand names.  We've used
them at the shop on many different types of plastic and they do a
fine job every time.  No cracking, no grabbing like a twist drill,
just nice clean holes right where you want them.
