[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 971777, member: 50867"] I agree. I've had some bad luck using common twist drill bits on rubber. Depending on its density and the speed of the cut, I have had some success using brad point drills in rubber. Finding a piece of dense rubber (e.g. tire tread) to make a practice run has also worked for me. I would also use copious amounts of a good quality rubber lubricant and a slow feed rate. I've never tried a Forstner bit but would probably consider that as long as it was very sharp and the feed rate was very slow. [/QUOTE]
