So what’s a sure fire method to drilling holes into a deck and enclosure without punching through to the other side?

Put a piece of tape on the drill bit

Or stick the drill bit inside a socket

My process: Line up the enclosure visually. Make sure it’s where you want it or you just lost from step one. Clamp it gently but solidly in place so it doesn’t slide. Do not let it slide, I repeat. Tape the deck around the outside edge of the enclosure to give you an outline of the enclosure on the deck. Painters tape or masking tape work great. This helps with alignment just in case you skipped over that whole “don’t let it slip” part. This is also when I add any weather stripping foam, rubbe…
