QUOTE: Originally posted by howmus Do you have a drill press? If you are doing it by hand, it will be more difficult. What I would do is make a template or jig that you can use as a guide to make sure the holes are lined up. Possibly if you can rig up a 45 degree angle jig to guide exactly where the drill will go. If you are asking about where the point of the drill will come out on the other side, you really need a drill press!
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

I can drill it for you exactly and send it to you. Just pay me for the shipping. I have been doing CNC work for 16 years and can drill anything you want with percisson accuracy. I can use aluminum, steel, nylon, plexiglass, ect with any thickness from .030 to 10" thick. No charge, just pay the shipping.
