I want to also try plasmaing a hole then drilling that out, gotta wait for new cups to come for my plasma, so haven't even tried that trick yet.
99, I sure missed my uni-bits and didn't mess around long before driving the 10 miles to town to get another one. Those holes for the transmission mount took like 2 hours to drill with a regular bit. It was awkward with the angle drill head just sneaking under the top frame flange.

I haven't tried the plasma to make a hole. Being accurate with it is a bit challenging for me just on a line. I saw where your cup and tip burned up or just fell apart. That is a bummer.
