What's the best drill bit for plastic?

[Homervanderjazz]

The plastic in question is a licence plate- now this is likely the only plastic I will ever be drilling so ideally I don't want to buy new drill bits..

I currently have metal, wood and masonry bits. Which of these would be best? Thanks for any advice

Use a normal HSS drill bit for steel. When drilling number plates, it's usually best to drill from the back, but clamp it down onto some timber first!
Use a small bit, then work up to the size you need.....practice on the old plate if you have it.

No worries.....number plates are acrylic and drills can tend to snatch, so 'gan canny'!
