1. Use 1 1/32" drill bit. Hole should be 1/16" larger than the recommended insert o.d.
2. Drill hole 1" deep.
3. Replace 1 1/32" drill bit with 31/32" or recommended insert outside diameter (for stronger vacuum use smaller drill bit i.e. 61/64 for
   standard outside diameter insert)
4. Drill hole the full depth of insert (Quad inserts 1 3/4", Standard 2-N-1 1 3/8")
5. You have now created a cone at the bottom of the hole.
6. Install finger insert. Glue bottom of grip into smaller hole. When creating a vacuum grip you must use at least 2 sizes smaller than standard finger tip size. Grip will expand to fit inside hole diameter.
