Originally posted by cooltouch Yeah, I've been thinking about this ever since grhazelton proposed the idea. I'm thinking that, after determining the body cap's exact center, the best thing to do would be to drill a hole for a small brass cylinder, the same length as the thickness of the body cap, and then to drill a tiny hole in the piece of brass, then glue it in place into the body cap. You could just drill a tiny hole in the body cap, but it probably won't be as smooth of a hole as one drilled in brass would be.
Yeah brass is a lot easier to work with then plastic. I've worked with both. Most plastics leave horrible burrs when drilled through or cut at any fast speed. Where as brass is a totally different story. It is very nice to work with and will give a nice clean drill hole.
I worked deburring plastic parts for a while. I was just nasty razor sharp burrs all over. I hope I never have to work with plastic again. I'll take metal machining any day.
