collars or tape will shift on the drill bit
so instead drill thru a piece of wood and slide the bit in/out in the chuck till you got the depth you want
its fool proof cuz if the bit loosens you just don't drill as far
a wine cork is the perfect sized piece of wood, a drill with a cord even has reverse a big thing back then, life in the ghetto's of narthern BC eh
a good thing to do it put an old washer between the drill chuck and the cork just in case it scours off the cork you could drill too deep

Thx on the cork idea... used that last night on my practice round. Handy. Kept dremmeling the cork down to get it just right
Another jong confirm question - when tapping with a t-handle, when the tap stops and the handle still turns around the tap, I assume I'm bottomed out in the hole? And that's my sign vs having to put tape or a stop on the tap
Thx again all

So the idea is to just slip the bit up or down in the drill chuck till you got the right amount of drill bit sticking out the end of the cork and tighten the chuck so there is no need to cut or dremel anything
the reason for using a cork was that when i was looking for something to use it was about the right size to do this with a 5/32nds drill bit but you could use any piece of wood that is 1 1/2 or 2 inches thick
you could even make it into a drill guide if you can get the drill bit very perpendicular to the skiLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

looks like it's rookie night.
mounted my first new/undrilled ski. took forever. measure 7 times, drill once. learned some things and next ski will go faster. have some questions which I'll post separately.

???? The T handle shouldn't be able to spin around the tap. If it does, the tap's jaws aren't tight enough. You hit bottom when you can feel the resistance. When you do it a few times, you'll be able to count rotations to know when you should get there.
And, if you want to go to the gold standard, you should first use a taper tap before the bottom tap.

Yes, you're right. I somehow didn't have it clamped on the squared off end!
But I managed to put inserts into one broken old practice ski and all went pretty well - except for one where the insert didn't "drop" and it felt like I was using too much force to get it to thread in. We'll see

One more question (for now!), and hypothetical (also for now!)... Still doing some practicing putting inserts into some old beater skis. In one case, the two rear toe holes were a few mm's too far forward, just enough that those two rear screws wouldn't go in straight. (Lesson learned to better check that punch hole is spot on, looking down through binding hole.) Anyway, if this screw up was on a real ski, would be ok to drill out the binding hole slightly bigger so the screw could align? I already drilled the holes out a bit so that the screws can drop through. Thx again

Well, if it was my ski, I would (and did) plug and re-drill. I had a wandering drill bit issue due to drilling near an old hole. I plugged with fiberglass and epoxy and re-drilled in this Swiss Cheese Holes Thread.

New Moment Bella's in 162 for our 11 yo granddaughter. She was able to demo them for three days before pulling the trigger. Being a racer I wondered how she would like a 108 underfoot ski when she spends a lot of time on narrow race boards. Took her 40 seconds to figure them out. Short slalom turns, big sweeping GS turns, did not matter. Only thing left is an opportunity to ski some powder with them but I doubt that will be an issue. This is our 16th pair of Moment skis, maybe a little OCD...

On3p Wren108ti - the build quality is second to none! Can't wait to test them.
P.S. Serial # is 007

Clean inserts.

Thank you.
Installing inserts on ON3P is like cheating - no bulging, no volcanos, no thread stripping. Didn't even need a beer afterwards
