So I wanted a chance to practice drilling out the rivets on bowl/lid dampers and the old lid to my SJ volunteered itself for the cause.
Glad I had a chance to practice on the old messed up lid before trying my hand on anything else![Grimacing face :grimacing: 😬](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62c.png)
So for anyone else who has done this, what do you do to keep the damn rivet from just spinning like mad as the bit cuts in? I tried going slower but then the drill bit didn't cut in at ALL.
And when I did finally make it through my drill flew forward and left a dent on the lid!
Definitely not for the squeamish....
