Drilling grip holes for ESB graflex saber?

[Taco-Bot]

Hey,

I'm about to drill the holes for the grips on my ESB style graflex. Does anyone have any tips for not screwing this up? $150 for a graflex replica is always pricey and my fear is that a clamp will chew up the poor thing or the drill bit will mess up the nickle plating.

Ue a drill press!!! Do not use a hand held power drill. That is a sure reciepe for disaster. If you don't have a drill press, find someone that does.

If you are that nervous about drill hole in it then just take it to a machine show. It will cost you a few bucks but the result will be worth it!
