its fool proof cuz if the bit slips in the chuck you just don't drill as far

I have 5 minute 1500psi epoxy that is easy enough to break, but I was thinking of not putting any epoxy in at all. If I decide to keep them, I'd just pull the bindings and replace with epoxy. I might even decide to put in inserts instead.
WWMD - 5 Min epoxy or none at all?
Why not use the 5 min stuff? Sealed binding holes, easy to break...I'm not seeing a down side.Quote:

If you get a spinner, then go the epoxy/fiberglass route. YMMV and all that.
That's why it's the manliest.Quote:

Turns out I needed to drill two new holes per ski. Turns out my p14 have a slightly different pattern on the heel than a fks 18. Decided to seal them up and use epoxy. Easiest mount ever.
whew black friday and cybershitshow week are over
free defiance 11 or 50 buck attack 13ers means i mounted more binders in 60 hours than most will in their entire lives
the cinnamon drops on my homemade dehydrated apple crisps layed down a heady drill it glue it screw it buzz fueled by loud tunes

think i blew 3 or 4 bsl's but when your mounting several hundy skis a day their not missdrilled they are pre drilled for a future custy
and my excuse
Mounted my kids new fucking skis yesterday.
No money left in the budget for skis for me so they going without brakes this year :)
Love my jiga-rex.
You NEED to have the brakes installed on those. It's part of the boot platform/support.Quote:

You can swap them out even at almost any ski shop. Cost $0.
^^^ you missed the smiley face!!!
It was a weak joke.
Just going to wax them before sticking the brakes on. Who the hell would have their kids ski without brakes??
Ok, good. Didn't get the joke.Quote:

Caint see it from my house.
Just did a mount that had touching holes, but I epoxied aluminum #12 sheet metal screws into the old holes first, cut off the heads and ground 'em flat. Tapped the new holes, which cut a bit of thread into the aluminum screws.
Gawdang that's a nice one ski/boot quiver. Mucho cacao indeed.Quote:

Jong question: any tips for drilling more vertically with a hand drill?
I've done a few mounts now, all with a jig, and have noticed that inevitably about 1/4 of the holes I drill are like 1mm off due to verticality slop in the jig guides. It hasn't caused any major problems, but getting some of my Dynafit toes screwed in has required some finesse.
Drill press or a bit/tap guide like this: http://www.slidewright.com/big-gator...ine-thread.php . If you're using a worn-out jig then drill press is probably the best option, or replace jig with one with less slop?Quote:
