Abstract
An assembly and method for drilling micro holes in a tube including an outer wall having opposing open ends and forming an inner channel. The method includes the steps of submerging the tube in water so the water fills the inner channel, retaining the water in the inner channel, freezing the water in the inner channel so as to form an ice backing in the inner channel, and drilling through the outer wall such that the ice backing supports the outer wall and prevents the outer wall from deforming or distorting near the hole location.
