[QUOTE="kormath, post: 117818, member: 4199"] sharp drill bits are key. Don't use ones specifically designed for woodwork. I get the black oxide bits from DeWalt and they work well. Start drilling slow till you get the feel of it, put something on the other side of the plastic so the pressure from drilling doesn't cause the crack. Really you don't need much pressure at all, let the tools do the work ;) I have a 1.75x1.75.x1" block of wood i use for the 2 inch amac boxes. And a 3x3x2" block for the 4 inch boxes. Put that inside, hold it firm against the inside wall and start drilling. Buy an extra box or 2 for practice :) [/QUOTE]
