Need a drill for small bits (#80)
#14
For drilling small holes in plastic you don't need or want it to turn very fast. I find it usually only takes 5-6 revolutions of the bit to get as deep as I need. i've never looked for such an item, but it would be nice if someone made a small drill press with a small chuck that can hold these tiny drills and adjust down to maybe 30-60 RPM. It would make short work of drilling holes for grab irons, and having everythng secure in a drill press would proably prevent bit breakage. I tend to break bits when I either apply too much pressure, or when the bit is partially in the hole and I don't keep the pin vise perpendicular.
