Ian, thanks for the advice. I’ve noticed where the end “craters” at the exit point of the drill. I’d put this down to being too eager with drilling the hole so need to slow down the progress of the bit AND remove it from the blank to clear the waste frequently. Also having the blank longer than required will ensure it it does still happen then at least it will be in the waste of the blank anyway.
