155 "ALCHEMY" by Jensen Knives
155: I have positioned the clamped assembly up on two precision 1” X 2” X 3” blocks to assure flatness, stability, and to make clearance room for the clamps, Make sure the 1” X 2” X 3” blocks are on the same plane!! Again I’ll be using a new, sharp #50 drill bit. I’m now going to position the drill bit in perfect alignment with the previously drilled bolster holes, raising and lowering the bit with the drill press in the OFF position to start. It is important to properly position this step to assure a clear transition from the bolster hole, continuing the hole into the knife frame. From here I’ll turn ON the drill press and carefully lower the bit though the bolster hole and into the material underneath, again slow and easy, in and out in small movements. Repeat for second hole.
