How to Perforate a Pup Joint?

How to Perforate a Pup Joint?

How to Perforate a Pup Joint?

(OP)
I have a 88.9 mm OD X 13.84 kg/m Pup Joint (3 1/2 X 9.20#), 3.0 m long, EUE Pin X Pin.  The intent is to convert this to a Perforated Pup Joint by drilling 19.0 mm holes through the wall.  I need 2.0 m of holes, 14 holes/meter.  The hole pattern is a helical wrap, each hole is 60 degrees apart.

How can I perform this without independently creating each hole using Hole Wizzard?  Clearly the Sweep doesn't work and the pattern is neither linear or circular, but a combination of to produce the thread-like helix.

So how can I produce radially drilled holes at intervals along the helical path?

You might be able to do this with a curve driven pattern where the curve is a helix.

If that fails, you can create the first revolution of holes (6 holes 60deg apart = 360deg) and pattern those.
