[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8878144, member: 654802"] 3 ways. 1st is to use a piece of copper or PVC tube shorter than the drill bit. Press it hard into the carpet and set the bit inside it. If you press hard enough only the material inside the tube will bind on the bit. 2nd is to use your soldering pen to burn through. The jute will not burn but you can tear a hole and use the tube trick to keep it away from the bit. On second thought, I wonder if you can heat the copper tube and melt through the carpet. The 3rd is to cut an X and separate the jute as you drill. If you decide to remove the wire, you can just tamp and brush the spot. [/QUOTE]
