Re: drilling larger holes in aluminum

My team actually uses a hand drill since most holes are applied after the robot is assembled. We created a block to clamp onto the side of the tube, giving a perfect located hole. I can't remember what size we go up to but we use a stepbit also, just drill a pilot hole and run the step bit through and it's very easy to make up to 1 1/8 holes atleast
