Drilling Blind Holes

Drilling Blind Holes
If you need to drill a hole that doesn’t go all the way through, measure along the drill bit to the depth of the required hole, wind a strip of masking tape around the bit at that point, and then drill into the material until the tape just touches its surface. Adapted from 400 Great R/C Modeling Tips by Jim Newman, Volume II, an Air Age Media publication.
