Nice idea, but as with handheld drills, if you can't get rid of the slightest sideways force, the 0.8mm bit will break (just like when you have it in a drill press, and you're holding the board while the cat scratches you HARD in demand for food.

Dude, seriously give the pc thing a break. I'll pull out my soapbox for a minute. This forum is for pedal building, and most of us use it as an escape from stress of daily life ; I know I do.  If you have something positive to contribute, by all means have at er.  I have met some of the most interesting people on this forum, and it's an enriching place to be.  And no, I am not advocating sticking our collective heads in the sand or other places, but if you want to talk politics there are millions of forums for you to do it on, there's only about a dozen sites like this, and this is by far the best.

A while back on a different forum, a sensitive political topic came up and it ended up doing nothing but dividing people in two groups: those who thought this thing was right and those who thought it was wrong.  In the end, some folks who previously liked each other ended up having very negative viewpoints of each other.  The funny thing was that the forum had nothing to do with the sensitive political topic.  It really accomplished nothing and took a bit of the cool, mellow atmosphere that made the place wonderful (to add to GermanCdn's point).

Sometimes people can't say what is on their mind because of political correctness.  Other times, they don't say what is on their mind because there are better forums for that.

I don't find this place overly politically correct.  I am sure we all have our opinions on things.  On this forum, we just choose to argue about the important issues such as Weller v. Hakko and Switchcraft v. Neutrik.

Well, we survived the great Gibson/Fender divide, but I don't want to test our luck toooo much...

That one's still simmering.  Don't be fooled.

Ignite the debate, New fender are better than New Gibson, but vintage Gibson is better than Vintage fender. Granted, price vs guitar, why the hell would anyone waste money on a new gibson or fender when a vintage piece can be had for the same or less money?!?!?
