Re: Working with Lexan
go pick up a set of step drills and use them they will make life alot easier! I suppose it is possile to just use 5 different bits in and step up through them but a step drill will be alot faster and a sharp one will go through lexan like a hot knife through butter! in '04 I personally drilled almost 6000 3/4" holes in sheets of lexan for our bot (we didn't use them as they were still too heavy and if we drilled anymore holes we wouldn't have a side panel lol!!)seriously though get a set and go at it its faster then you think and quite easy!
