Any plastics-supply house will have drill bits specially made for
drilling plastics successfully. Really big hardware stores too. Maybe
Home depot?
They work great!
Where are you located?
Good luck, Russ

Rick,
I have a die grinder... is that what you are talking about using to
cut Lexan? This will be the first time I've ever handled Lexan. I
also have a Dremel.
Are you saying to slightly grind the sharp point of a drill bit to
drill holes for attachment? Any advice you have to help me keep
from buying several sheets is appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
Boatner

Mr. Hauk is correct. Lexan (polycarbonate) can be drilled with normal drill bits. It is Plexi-glass (acrylic) that is prone to cracking and splitting around the holes during the drilling process. You can cut Lexan with a saw as well. The thin stuff used for winshields can also be cut with a good pair of aviation snips. Make sure to de-burr all holes and clean up all cut edges with a file or a sanding block. It is a good idea to drill holes oversize to account for thermal expansion. This is more important when riveting to steel than to aluminum.
Enjoy your new Kolb!

I know it doesn't sound very manly, but I used a good pair of regular houshold sissors to cut 1/16" lexan with great results.
