Question Templates for drilling?

Hey there all,

I have a question for your infinitely wise minds....is there such a thing as a drill templete for a DDR-II? I am thinking of using some Jade for grips and the shaping has gone fine..however I am looking to drill the holes and I am REALLY hoping not to screw up.

Suggestions?

Jerry

Drilling template? Sure is.

We all use the liner itself as a drilling template. Use a 1/64" drill and it will pass through the threads without any cutting of them. I use double sided tape to secure the scales to it while drilling. You can also use clamps and a riser block to do the same thing.

Get a good square edge on the jade and butt it up against the bolster and then secure them.

Did you have something else in mind?

Coop
