Thread: Robeson Shuredge

I score an "X" on the pin with a small file to ensure that the drill(a simple power drill) stays centered, I think I picked it up from someone on this forum, possibly Brad but I don't remember.

That is similar to centre punching, take a small punch or even a nail and put it on the centre of the pin and hit it so that it makes a dent, then use that to center the drill bit onto the pin.
Admittedly I have not done this to a razor pin, but I imagine it would be less likely to damage the scale than waving a file around near it.
