Drilling Grommet Holes for a Computer Desk

Hi, I'm Jon on behalf of Expert Village. In this video clip, we'll be drilling our hole for our grommet. To drill our hole, I'm going to be using this 2 1/2" hole drill bit. Now since the thickness of our table is a little bit thicker than our bit itself, we are going to have to drill this in a couple of different steps. First we are going to put our center drill bit on our center, mark our hole, and we are going to start drilling down about an 1 1/2". Next we are going to need to take a chisel and break away some of the top so that we can finish drilling all the way through. As you can see, we've got through about the first 2 layers of our top and we need to now finish drilling through our last layer. Once finished we can pull the rest of that piece out. Now we have a hole that gives us access to the hollow leg. If we stick that grommet in place, it makes it look pretty nice.
