I avoid making any design that has blind holes. One option I have done with aluminum parts is to put screws or bolts into the hole and weld the back of the hole shut, then remove the fasteners. Another is to thread an Allen head set screw with thread locker/sealant flush with the far side. Otherwise, one needs to put plenty of run-off space in the hole, then find a practical way to clean it out. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
