Drilling
From Makespace
Revision as of 13:53, 23 June 2015 by Harry.braviner (Talk | contribs)
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.
These bits are suitable for most drilling tasks, but may fail to get through steel.
Replacements are kept in a white box in the drawer labelled 'replacement bits'.
0.1 mm bits
Do you know where these were ordered from? If so, please edit this page.
