Actually it went rather easy, well as easy as drilling through 7-9 inches of steel can be with a hand held drill (12 studs times 5/8-3/4 inch depth in the head). The neat thing is when what's left of the steel threads get caught by the bit and don't have to be picked out. On the others I "rolled" the threads out using a jeweler's screwdriver.
On a similar note I've had requests for a 3.6 tool but they are different from the earlier heads and don't have a nice round and consistent port for a disk to locate in. They do have an O-ring groove that I could locate the tool with but I don't have a head to play with. Anyone have a scrap 3.6 head they want to part with?
