Set Up
Set up six cones so that they are in 90-degree angles to one another. This will allow you to work on your out-cuts.

- Continue to run and cut, staying on the outsides of the cones (see diagram)
- Work the 90-degree drill both ways so you get both cuts, coming and going in the different directions.
