Oh Feek, tears in my eyes, only on potv would someone admit to that

As long as my pain makes someone giggle, its worth fessing up to being a complete Numbskull sometimes. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's an issue ;-)
Now back to making my mod. Hopefully when I unveil the reverse drill mod, people will see that even idiots can be mod makers.

Thanks for the advice. I am using a pillar drill and trying to do a pilot hole. I haven't got a centre punch but I did bang a nail into the piece first and make a small hole. The drill bit just keeps wandering off on its own. A bit like me to be honest

Sounds like the drill bit is blunt, unless you are using a really hard grade of Aluminium thenyou should be almost able to start the hole with the drill bit in your fingers.

Clearly I should have read the whole thread - but I suppose I was kinda sorta vaguely right, running in reverse means the cutting edges were'nt cutting so pretty much a blunt drill bit. Now all you need is to paint the the selector switch for forward and reverse in a nice eyecatching colour and label it "in" and "out"...

It'll take more than a bit of paint to stop me making a ballsup. ;-)

I was. Now I've got it spinning the right way, I'm a demon!

I've only been drilling in reverse for 2 days! No wonder the wood was burning and my bits were wandering.

As someone that makes a living w/ power tool's, I have never ever done anything like that with a crew of other highly skilled carpenters standing there all trying to figure out what the problem was.

Sometimes you just gotta be OK w/ laughing at yourself

I've spent far too long in my life taking it seriously. If you can't laugh at yourself, you're missing out on lots of humour. Especially in my case
