Drilling

Makespace has several sets of drill bits for different purposes:

  • General purpose bits These have a yellow coating, come in 0.5mm increments, are are kept in a box near the drill presses.
  • 0.1mm bits These are dark grey, come in 1mm increments, and are also kept near the drill presses.
  • Centre bits Short, grey bits used to drill a starting hole. Kept in a wooden box near the lathe.
  • Cobalt bits Grey, kept in a black box (FIXME - where?). Intended for drilling steel. Expensive, use only if you're confident that you know what you're doing.
