Hi greg,

wfo

just kidding, one thing I have learned is when drilling make sure you take a big enough chip so it throws it off of the drill. the worst thing for me is when the plastic balls up on the tool it starts to melt and damage the part.

beside that everything is pretty easy. you can pretty much run as fast as you want. just try not to melt the plastic.

holding the part can get strange. unlike metal where you can hang on to 1/8" in a vise. the plastic will deform and make life tough. so be sure you are holding enough to secure you workpiece.
