I have an acrylic blank, lava flows, from Ernie at Bear Tooth Woods that I have to put a 12.5mm drill bit through. These blanks are cylindrical for those not familiar with them. I don't have the actual diameter of the blank but it looks like I'll only have about an 1/8" wall thickness once I have drilled through it and about 1/16" thickness after turning.
Any pointers on what will make my drilling experience a little easier. I know I'm going to have to go slow, make sure I am drilling on the dead center of the blank and also make sure the blank is perfectly vertical when drilling, but beyond that, any other suggestions?
Should I use a lubricant (Pam cooking spray) when drilling?
