Re: sanding edges of drilled holes
Thanks Lynn, "Lots of diamond" sounds great. I'm currently using Tripple Ripples and they are worth the price when they work but unfortunately there are duds randomly spread through the inventory. Looks like most of the diamond misses the tip every 3 or 4 bits. Barry, thank you for remindi...
