BareHook Posted May 1, 2013 #1 Posted May 1, 2013 Does anyone have a better idea for drilling treenail holes without drilling through the frame? I will probably use 1/32 dia brass for treenails, but I dont want it to penetrate all the way through the frame. I plan to use a 1/32 diameter drill with a piece of tubing bonded onto it at a set depth of .175 from the drill point.

davyboy Posted May 1, 2013 #2 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Ken,why not just push your drillbit into the pin vice chuck until only .175" protrudes. That´s what I do to control depth,no need to glue tubing on then. Dave Edited May 1, 2013 by davyboy Chuck 1 Quote

russ Posted May 2, 2013 #6 Posted May 2, 2013 I wrap masking tape around the drill bit to act as a depth stop.
