Opinions?

I read some time ago somewhere that it was drilling.



I was under that impression also, but then like DobeDave I'm
old.

Maybe with the new tooling things have changed, but then
drills have improved also.

Back in the seventies I watched a guy rough out a pocket in
a moldbase. Probably 18 to 24 inches square and 4 inches
deep as I recall. He drilled a series of large holes
probably 2" dia. leaving a small web. Took a sledge hammer
and broke out the webs that were left. Getting the first
couple of webs out was hard, but after that they popped
right out.

Best,
Steve
