I am making a couple of pens from Rhinoplastic blanks. These are going to be wedding pens based on the color theme of the wedding. My plan is to cut a piece off of the bottom of each blank at about 30° to 45° and glue it to the bottom of the other blank. To give the pens a little extra I am going to put a piece of 18ga brass between the pieces of plastic when I glue it back together.
My question is in regards to drilling through this sandwich. I have not worked with the Rhinoplastic before but I know that drilling through plastic and acrylic blanks requires slow drill speeds and a bit of patience. But when you add a piece of brass into the equation, what happens when the slow drill first starts to encounter the brass?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
