the one thing that scares me is watching someone drilling through a piece ofsteel without clamping the piece... I cringe when I see the piece beingdrilled is not clamped but rather being held by hand.Once that bit gets near the end of the piece you all know what happens....It took me once to find that out the hard way... a pretty nasty gash as a.063" piece of 4130 strap swung around and sliced me open like a knife.DJ----- Original Message -----
