WHAT DRILL BIT IS BEST DRILL?

Official C**T Hair ruler: ► www.etsy.com/ca/listing/46420...
We have a look at the most common drill bits, how they work and when to use them. We go through bit selection for large and small holes in wood, plastic, brass, aluminum, bronze, steel and tool steel. We have a look at tungsten carbide and HSS bits.
long term projects here: / ave
Lowlights include:
-Poking fun at woodworkers

Compare Massachusetts, Virginia, Louisiana, Texas and Wisconsin. What part of Canada did you visit? Torontonians (people from T'ron'o) tend to sound like upstate New York. (esp. Buffalo) Prairie provinces tend to sound like North-West states. Quebec and North-East Ontario have lots of different influences. Canadians do NOT say 'aboot.'

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....

Just to be that guy; brassing off a drill bit is not just dulling the edge, you’re actually changing the cutting geometry. You’re aiming to create a small flat on the cutting edge which is 90 degrees to the work. Also called neutral rake.

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.

Nice vid, as an apprentice in the UK in the early 90's the first thing we learned was how to sharpen drills with the stepped edge. We spent the first class resharpening boxes of dull drill bits from the year before! Has been so invaluable as even now at work I've found when you get a crappy brand new drill bit that barely cuts through stainless, a few minutes on the bench grinder and it's chewing though like a hot knife through butter!!

[@NeoMegaMan]

[@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]

tyler friskie

[@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). I also use a tap with a sharp point to put a center mark on before using the center drill...those you do have to be carful off...I had one shatter & embed a chunk in my arm....don't use little taps..8mm or so is good!

[@miatafan]

love these kinds of videos, as a mechanical engineering student anytime i can learn stuff like this is awesome.

[@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.

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.

[@itsmatt2105]

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.

step drill bits are awesome for plastic no helicopter of death scenarios lol

[@SuperAWaC]

i have a set of carbide step bits and they are the best thing ever for drilling holes in enclosures if you need to dril multiple sizes for different things. don't need to fuck around with changing hole saws out, although hole saws are fine if you only need to cut a single size hole for conduit. i got asked "why carbide?" and well it's for that single time you gotta drill through or embiggen a hole in a a stainless countertop or enclosure made for kitchen use.

My chin hurts!!! When you said you didn't know how to releive a drill point my jaw fell and my chin hit the desk! Ive only seen a couple of your videos but you strike me as a knowledgeable man and well expereinced in McGivering all sorts of projects. I'm going to tell you the secrets from an old, old machinist, me. Early in my carreer I was employed by a demanding job shop. They expected everyone to sharpen drills by eye all the way up to their largest drill a 3" monster, and they better run true!! My foreman, they had them in those days, not supervisors ( can only tell you to do something, not how to do it) told me to pic up a new drill and look at the thined web. Now go over to a bench grinder and make your dull drill look just like it. First you need a sharp corner on the stone. Take the drill and bring the flute side up to the wheel on a generous angle. While watching the opposing sharp cutting edge grind some of the flute back. Turn the drill in your hand 180 degrees and repeat. Repeat this process until the chisel point is gone but there is still a point. I've done this so much through the years I'm generally faster than setting up a drill grinder and my drills run true within .002 on the smaller drills. Or you can by a Drill Doctor, topline model, and sharpen carbide drills on its diamond wheel, remove drill and holder, insert in thinning port and vois la, sucess!

"Hot Chip Welding" - that was my nickname back in high school.

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.

Another great video! Thanks for taking the time.
