Re: Dremel or drill?

[Lavinia Adler <laviniaa@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Artemis. My Dremel drill bit seems to slide away from where I want it
also, so I've taken to making a small indentation with an awl where I
want the hole to be. I place the drill bit on that indentation and it
doesn't slide or jump away on me.
