I'm not sure of the best way to drill the plexi to the slider frame. The instructions are to drill #40 through the plexi and frame then cleo them together. The smallest plexi drill bit I can find is .125, which is closer to a #30 (.1285).
From what I can tell, I should NOT use a standard (#40) drill bit on the plexi. If I use the .125 plexi bit, I'll be drilling into the steel tube before I get all the way through the plexi - in which case the plexi bit will probably get dull very quickly.
So which drill bit should I use? Should I drill through the plexi with the .125 until I hit steel then switch to a standard #40?
Any hints of tips will be much appreciated.
