 |  its a good idea to place a piece of scrap wood underneath and if your using a drill press drill the holes at the highest speed setting and don't force the bit throught the wood |

| Bob, unless it is a large breakout it shouldn't matter because that piece will be cut out. I always place a scrap piece under the one to be drilled and don't "punch" the bit through the wood, just "ease" it through.

| What Daryl said...... A waste piece for a backer and drilling at a high speed really cuts down on tear out. A sharp, quality drill bit helps too!
