I have a Joust I'm restoring and planning to drill the button holes this weekend. The CP is wood with a 1/8" or so metal plate on top. Found the 1-1/8" bit at HD with a pilot hole. Something like the picture attached.
Since I'm drilling into metal, then about 3/4" wood, does it make sense to drill tiny holes around the circumference of the button hole to weaken the metal/wood? Or just go at it with the 1-1/8" bit?
Thanks in advance...
