A drill press would best best, but I just used a hand drill. I started with small bits and changed bits gradually until I got to 1/2". This is the best way to go about drilling the heatsink. *If you have an open can laser diode, take care not to let dust get inside of the diode! *If you don't want to build a driver, just make the module found in this video and hook that up to the power supply. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VrNDe9mpOs http://hackaday.com/2010/09/30/build-a-cutting-laser-from-an-old-pc/ http://www.gearlog.com/2010/10/hack_turn_your_old_computers_i.php http://pcbheaven.com/opendir/index.php?show=42675ie42915fc04911f1f Check out http://laserpointerforums.com to learn more about laser pointers, lasers, and laser pointer companies!
