I am using the silver bullet to drill axle holes and our rules require 4 wheels need to touch. After several tries I always get only 3 that touch. Maybe it is new user error or the cheap drill press and bit. Is there any way to get the non dfw to barely touch, or should I just buy some more blocks and trying. I am drilling the fronts straight and canting the rears
Thanks!
 
If you have yet to shave wood off the side of the car - make the side that is lifted a bit your DFW - bend this axle down (positive cant) so that it almost lifts the opposite side.

Of course this depends on how much difference there is in height between the two axle holes - but for a four wheel must touch rule - that's how I do it.
 
In the Street Rod class this year the rules are 4 wheels touching. This is new to me but what I did and seemed to work well is rears drilled on a cant, frts straight. Bend both frt axles, the dominant side with a greater bend. Install the wheels and axles in the car and start bending your non dom. side axle, both frt wheels should be on a positive cant. Get the non dom side wheel to where it just touches. Than the way I tune after that is prep the wheels and axles install the rear wheels and the non dom side frt wheel. Leave your dominate wheel off. On your table tuning board or what ever you are using tune the car. Get it to roll as straight as possible, once you have a straight rolling car install your dom wheel and tune it to the amount of turn that you want. Don't know if this is the fastest way but its how I do it.
