[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 971784, member: 28381"] Parallel to the forstner idea... A suggestion given to me locally is to take a 6" piece of 3/8"OD steel tubing (steel hydraulic tube stock) and sharpen it similar to the rim of a forstner bit. Chuck it in the drill press and run at low speed. Then use something like Dawn dish soap to lubricate it while slowly cutting the rubber cover. Once through the outer rubber layer, peel it off like a sticker from its backing. Then finish drilling the plastic/fiberglass or ??? with a brad point. Tedious but it just might work. Gonna think about this a little more before I commit to possibly tearing up a perfectly good stock. Pete ' [/QUOTE]
