Drilling hard plastic?

Post by Calv »

My girlfriend needs to drill a mall hole in some dominoes, but the plastic is pretty hard, any suggestions as to what drill bit is best for this? She has tried a wood drill, it's a tiny one, but says she thinks it is blunting the bit.

Sometimes the tiny bits can look blnt though can'nt they so i thought i'd ask here.

Thanks,

Calv.

virtualy any drill bit will cut plastic if sharp

assuming your talking around 6mm
just use a normal metal drill bit on slow speed
