Almost broke my nose one time when using a twist drill bit & battery powered drill to make a 1/2" hole in schedule 80 PVC pipe. I was standing on a stool and operating the drill face adjacent when drilling my hole straight down from the 12 o'clock pos on the pipe. I was holding the drill in an awkward but stable way until that 1/2" drill bit BIT into the PVC. The drill spun, broke free of my tentative grip, rotated a quick 270+ degrees and the battery pack of the cordless drill clipped my nose as it spun. I was bleeding a little and had a swollen nose but really It had the same impact as getting hit in the balls by a toddler with a wiffle bat. No long term damage but lesson facking learned!

That part in the End is so true. Fresh from school, university or college and the little shit is trying to tell yeah what to do by the book. Love that. Ofcourse I use Tables, Formula and so forth. But they are only guidelines and not the rule. If you have experience, know your tools and material, then you will quickly find out how to compensate for variables. I was once turning a precision piece for a hydraulic actuator and my lathe settings wasn't quite like in the book. It was running quite fast but the feed speed was lower. Why? Well the Material was not ordinary brass and I wanted to make a quite tight tolerance with a fine surface so that the boring process wouldn't take so long and the tool wouldn't have to work that hard. (The tool wasn't great so I had to be careful. EXPERIENCE!) After Lunch I came back to the machine and the settings where all fucked, as well as the the piece I made. What happened? Our new Bimbo McCuntfart of the Engineering and Repair Department who freshly graduated from Asshole University of Cocksuckerton figured he could have a go and finish my piece. 3 hours of work fucked up with chatter marks and hole that was too deep. It was a very complex valve piece. And since we don't have a CNC Machine, it was all done by hand... That Fucker even had the arrogance of handing me the piece and telling me it was my fault. "If you would have used the right settings beforehand, it wouldn't be ruined." I took my protocol, checked the settings on the lathe and saw that everything was screwed with. I asked my boss too take a look. His head turned red and he crumbled the copy of my protocol He then turned to Engineer and said in German "If you want to keep your job, get out of the maintenance shop." And flicked the paper in his face... Anyway. For the fresh guys out there: Don't fuck around with other people or their stuff and don't tell a experienced worker how to work. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING....

Thanks for all this information! Here's a tip for everyone, if you've ever tried to drill hardened or heat treated (wear) steel, you know it's an almost impossible, totally frustrating, very expensive undertaking if you use regular drill bits but try using carbide tipped masonry drill bits. Works way, WAY better. Still not great, you will still go through a lot of bits but you will get the job done and the bits are relatively inexpensive. Of course use LOTS of lubricant/coolant. I use used motor oil, probably not the greatest but I got plenty of it.

[@Midnight_Rider96]

Cobalt drills are great for harder steels without the cost of carbide. Carbide drills are only really useful for making tons of parts in a cnc where you can dial in the speeds and feeds, because they are picky about settings. They last way longer but you gotta justify the cost by making lots of holes with the settings dialed. They can cut way faster too.

[@anotherhonda9402]

Centering bits are used on refrigeration compressor degassing drills. They use an pneumatic Atlas Copco drill like a die grinder that takes a centering drill that has a flat side and two notches so you press and turn to lock it in the chuck. Round the drill is a collar with 2 large suction pipes and two small pipes for a pair of vacuum sensors. there is a synthetic rubber cup on the end of the sleeve with two rings for an inner and outer suction cup. One pipe and one line are connected to the outer suction cup that holds the drill on the compressor casing, the other sucks the turnings, oil and refrigerant gas from the compressor and refrigerant circuit.

[@turboed350]

hey quick tip to help make a split point drill u got to use a dressed grinding wheel or iv also used cut off wheels on a bench grinder, just something that has a nice sharp edge to the side of the wheel. so anyways hold the chisel edge parallel to the side of the grinding wheel with the dill at like a 45deg angle vertical and close to center of the wheel cutting height and feed it in to just the center of the drill tip point while cutting to the chisel edge with the side of the wheel. may have to work at it a few times to get it right and also try to keep a slight cut back below the chisel edge for clearance for the cutting edge so maybe while holding the drill up to the wheel just sweep it a few deg. learned this from our tool maker/grinder guy at work.

[@superbestdad]

I learned more than a couple things but the one that brought back memories....the chisel end versus the split point. The first shop I worked at when I wasnt worth much for productivity and money making a mentor would hand me a broken twist drill out of his tool box "go sharpen it" I would do what I could and come back with a shit eatin grin and hand it to him, he would load er into a drill and just lay into it into what ever the hardest material he could find. Smoke and chowder later the twist drill thrown at me "it aint worth a shit, do it right" Long story longer, I got really experienced with the grinding wheel and broken or chewed twist drills. I had noticed that split point twist drills worked really great without a pilot hole, no idea why and never really tried to find out. I worked and worked on making split points by hand on a wheel and I eventually got it and they work great. It was a real art I had learned but rusty now for that but good old memories. 25 years later Thanks for the vids man, I always enjoy and learn something, Make me laugh and remind of people I've known along my journey

[@Thingsthatgopew22]

Drilling glass wasn't covered. I tried both Diamond drills and standard metal/Wood drillbits with the glass object submerged in turpentine (abrasive liquid) and it works fine. But finding out where to counter drill was quite a bit of a pain in the sack. Only a curly hair wrong, and the whole thing shatters. Any tips and pointers?

[@TheBitwise]

I'd like to know, too. There are a lot of good applications for glass or glass-like products.

[@ghost2coast296]

have you tried pilot drilling the hole? With glass you grind you don't cut so metal/wood bits are useless, you need something impregnated with carbide or diamond which I'm sure you can find a tool on google. The glass can't be tempered prior to drilling

[@Kosmonooit]

And drilling glazed tiles - challenging! water jet cutting is the biz though!

[@Thingsthatgopew22]

Using the turpentine method any drill can be used. Very little force must be applied. It's acctually the turpentine that does the real job. Even the blunt end of the drillbit will drill in glass, but the sharp end is less prone to snag and chip the edge of the hole. Pilot drilling is as hard since cracking occurs when two missaligned holes meet and wedges into each other. Diamond hole drills (like a tube) is quite easy to use but when you lack the appropriate size you must resort to other methods.

[@ehehe84]

[@carengine100]

Great video! I would just add that the cutting angle is a super interesting component of drilling holes and any other cutting processes. You mentioned "brassing off" or dulling the drill bit, but I believe the better explanation is that a neutral cutting angle is best for softer materials like plastic, brass, etc. I have a set of drill bits that I've honed the edge to be a neutral cutting angle and they don't grab.

to sharpen the split tip back on you pit the cutting edge along the side of the grinding wheel and grind the relief with the face of the wheel. it takes a steady hand and a good clean crisp corner on the wheel but works well . you can turn all your chisel tips to splits in a hurry with a little practice. great channel thanks for all your hard work on these vids !!

[@billhartnett6413]

Another trick for finding center of a hole transfer is use same size drill bit or very slightly smaller & tap with hammer & then rotate the bit to a 90 degree angle to the first strike & hit again. This will leave an "X" mark that you can then hit with center punch & center drill to prep for desired drill for hole.

[@tylerfriskie8066]

good way to shatter a bit... done it before...

[@billhartnett6413]

[@sdial]

Put some poor-man's dykem (black sharpie) in the center of the hole. Push and rotate the drill bit (preferably split point), this will give you a clean scratch in the center of your hole to punch without risking breaking the tip.

[@billhartnett6413]

Good tip...I'll give it a try! We have Dykem Marks at work & they are even better than a sharpie because the "paint" dries & stays for a long time!

[@billhartnett6413]

Just give the bit a love tap - don't go at it like a 200 lb gorilla...plus you don't want to damage your tip (just the tip mind you).

He does, they're called safety squints.

[@tyttuut]

Nature's safety glasses!

[@aluckyshot]

Safety glasses are lame until you catch a metal shaving in the eye and it gets stuck. Doesn't take much to get embedded. Still hate them since I like seeing clearly lol

[@burkemoras]

Center drill with the mill and DRO is awesome for laying out holes, especially if you have to cross drill through round stuff.

[@Henryandginger]

I really like this video, it was really informative. I've noticed that when you do a BOLTR and get to the part where you examine the grease that you seem to know a lot about grease and what makes good grease and what is just cheap Chinese schmoo. This kind of got me interested in knowing how do you pick what grease for what job, what actually makes them good and what kind of nifty specialty greases are there?

What exactly is red helix , Milwaukee has a 1/4 hex speed bit set and it says that on the package?

Take the time to learn how to hand sharpen drills and tools and go for the super expensive stuff. You will never regret that decision, home owners especially (and for the love of god do yourself a favor and work with metric :) The headaches are significantly less). I've drilled countless holes with shitty bits, I can make them work if I need to. But the average 300 pound gorilla is just gonna lean on that thing and mushroom it to shit. Proper HSS drills will at least take the heat. We used to challenge each other around the shop, who can sharpen a drill by hand like a machine would. Heck I remember being busy with a job, discovering an old drill in a drawer and being very exited to have another drill to sharpen real quick. Dropped everything and ran to the bench grinder like a little kid. P.S. Just a little tip for doing second cuts or split tip as you call it. Use a diamond dresser and clean up your wheel beforehand, I'ts nice to have a stone with a sharp corner. Then clamp a little bump stop with a vertical face on your tool rest so you can really get that plunge line spot on. You can then run the drill backwards and forwards along that stop to get a clean cut. It's not really free handing at this point, but hey, gotta eat too. I have a 6mm pilot drill that has his own little spot on a wall shelf cleverly called "pilot". It's the only drill I ever sharpen like that, or have to. So my "clamp" is just a welded piece of angle iron that only works for that specific 6mm.

I can imagine your video skyrocketing in popularity if you just edit them with soundboard music it will amplify your humor

[@1one3_Racing]

I have that very same holesaw set in Australia. I think it was $8. Biggest sack of crap but I use it once or twice a year.

[@yetinother]

Best vid I have been seen looking at for many a wet cave explorations, would enjoy a time to see you making and making use of hand made tools of any color of hair over the wide world of skin. Keep your tool in dry place if you find it rusts, put back in the moist place if it doesn't!

[@dansneyd4646]

say I'm drilling a 1/2 hole and I need to pilot drill because of my bit. Do I need a pilot for my pilot? and then a pilot for that pilot? etc

[@CatNolara]

The pilot (what would you use for that? 1/8"? Sorry, I'm metric) is usually easy enough to drill as is.

[@matthewmarting3623]

Yeah, starting with 1/8" pilot if you want to be SURE your hole is located. 2 things going on - location and cutting pressure. You can drill a hole straight up with a 1/2" chisel tip bit but you need several tons (estimate) of pressure to deflect the metal at the chisel point towards the cutting edge and the hole wont be located where you need it. Smaller than 1/8" and you're splitting hairs man.

[@waldsteiger]

in theory yes. in practice you choose the smallest bit your machine can work with. for the next size the chisel should fit into the pilot.

[@blackoak4978]

That was more in-depth than I expected, probably should have checked the video length, lol. Cleared up a couple of questions I had, thx!

[@Banzukay]

How you liking the Knipex? looking to get a pair.

[@theOG_OREUS]

best pliers I've ever owned. I'll never go back to the channel lock style.

[@mike216ism]

I love starrett also Ave, they have the best tap wrenches ever designed. Spring steel jaws that are perfectly machined and never give way. I wish all tool companies focused on quality like starrett. Very nice set of pin vises. Expensive stuff

[@cameronsmith3988]

The technical term for the Aluminum Oxide layer corrosion stoppification is "Passivation". What for impressin' the ladies with the linguistics.

[@cameronsmith3988]

Edited because of the brilliant feature auto-incorrect. It saves you time by making sure you're wrong every other time.

[@timlaunyc]

I would rather use oxide layer to get her in the layin' mood. Especially chickens, if you want eggs.

[@cameronsmith3988]

Layer? I barely know her!

[@quaxk]

or you can just get the old johnny out of the shed and say hello

[@PupuTheMonkey]

This video would have saved me countless hours when I worked as a self trained cutting tool engineer for a major automotive manufacturer. This is a damn good primer on the topic of drilling.

[@jtfroh]

Is this like... Industrial Veganism? "I don't use wood! Wood is murder!" :P

[@jeep2003]

Ideal hole Cutters work great for steel. Sometimes i use concrete bits on hardened steel in a pinch they work alright with with a fresh edge

[@nickpoirier123]

A very, very good video. Thank you for this!

[@alektad]

You have the best humor on the whole wide KZbins.
