Step 4Drilling The Base
Now that the inside of the webcam's base has been cleaned out to accommodate the 1/4"-20 nut, the base must be drilled so the nut can be accessed.
Place the nut in its final location and use it as a guide for the 1/4" drill bit in order to mark where the hole needs to be drilled. Now use the 1/16" bit to drill a pilot hole and use larger and larger drill bits until you finally use the 1/4" drill. Or, to 5/16" if you want make sure nothing binds when mounting on a tripod.
This method will result in a nice and clean hole through the plastic base.
