Comment by Jezza on August 30, 2010 at 21:24: yeah

steel>aluminium

I try to rotate which baseplates I use, cause you can see the aluminium shavings mixed in with the sawdust :S

chalk isnt really that great either, as it makes quite a fat line

Comment by Michael English on August 30, 2010 at 21:14: should sell those... would make drilling decks 1000000x easier

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on August 30, 2010 at 21:10: baseplate would only centre the holes for each truck.
You still need something to align the front and back together otherwise your deck will pull to one side rather than rolling straight.
Don't use your fave trucks as a jig either. The drill will thrash the aluminium after a couple of goes. Your nice baseplate with end up with oval and oversized holes.
I use steel tubes, press fit into alum plates.
