Hi Brian,

What brand of drill are you using?

If you can send close-up photos of your veroboard socket to me off-list
I'd be grateful. I understand the grinding the track method you are
discussing, (love the pattern you drew for me!), but not the wire wrap
socket bit.

There is no need to send photos if doing so is inconvenient.

Thanks

Bob
