Hi sifu,
Sorry....DIY noob here....
Am wondering any workshop in KV area provide hole-drilling service using a drill press?
Need to drill a 2.5mm diameter hole into a aluminium CPU heatsink for tapping and later mounting onto a laptop CPU.
Tried practice drilling using a cordless drill, carbide tip into a 10mm thick aluminium plate, find it quite difficult to drill into the plate and keep the drill in a perfect vertical hole.
