I am making a carburator for a model engine. The throat of the carb is 3/16.
The bottom of the throat (below the throttle plate) needs to be enlarged with a 1/4 inch drill with a 45 degree angle.
I figure I will drill most of the way with a standard drill bit to enlarge the 3/16 hole to 1/4. Can I use a spade bit with a 45 degree angle to finish it off and establish the angle? Would it be better to grind a twist drill into a 45 degree angle?
thanks chuck
