Drilling
From Makespace

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.
If drilling metal a cutting lubricant should be used.
General purpose bits
These can be reordered here.
