simple studding question

[justin1620]

hey fellas, i cant seem to be getting enough traction with the heel clicker setup off the launch and have some more studs laying around the garage i would like to install. I lost my track cutting tool so can i just use a plain old drill bit? I can't see there being much difference, after all a hole is a hole right? lol

i use a cheap method it's a aluminun arrow cut it about 3'inche piece w/ pipe cutter works good burns the hole.drill bit is bad tears

DON't use a drill bit!!! It will not cut a hole it will rip a hole and pull belting out of the track. I'd try the arrow trick first.

use a fostners bit, used for woodworking, drill slowly and it will cut a nice hole in it, not a drill bit thats twisted.

5/16 leather punch works great. I like to heat the unit up with the torch first, this melts the cords also. Al

Hmm - never thought about using one.

FYI - in case one would want to Google for info, - Forstner

we use to heat a bolt/stud of the appropriate diameter and melt it thru the track years ago. that would be better then a drill bit and cheap if your only adding a few studs, otherwise a cutting tool is your best bet.

go to Royal Distributing..they have them track hole cutters pretty cheap there. Wouldn't want to see you start your track on fire,then your sled and then your garage/house..
