Yeah, we're talking just about the bogie brackets, and I'm just going to recycle them anyway.. Once again, thanks to everyone for the help. :grd:

This sounds kind of ominous. In flattening the rivets against the bracket, yes, I've ground into the bracket as well. Should I expect something bad from this, and what is the cure?

Except that the OP is not talking about drilling rivets. He already torched them off. The discussion is about drilling the new holes for the spring brackets. [thumbzup] Yes, that was the original question, but since it's been brought up, I'm having a helluva time getting any rivet to budge...

Second place not much help either, except that the tool I'd be renting was a milwaukee 4210-1. I've even looked up a few manuals and they all assume a certain amount of knowledge going in. Checked Amazon and they don't sell a Magnetic Drills for Dummies either. I want to thank all again for...

I found a place locally where I can rent a magnetic drill, but the guy wasn't as knowledgable as I hoped. He didn't know what an annular bit was, and said that the drill they had had a 3/4" chuck. The question I have now is: Are there two kinds of chucks, one for annular and another for regular...

Keep your comments coming! I'm finding them all helpful.

After 2 months of fire bans I finally got 'round to torching the rivets on one side of the deuce, sort of my "NO GOING BACK!" point. Woo hoo! In researching the process, I came upon mention of the magnetic drill. I thought I had nearly every generalized power tool but, this was a new one to me...
