Power drill must be one of the most basic and flexible tools needed by Builebuilder. However, this equipment is practically useless without drill to accompany him.
Bit Bit is a part that can be replaced that you attach to the Chuck Tool. There are various kinds of bits that you can use, but the two most common are wooden and metal bits.
Thus, you have to invest in this bit with a set of various sizes and length. Having them in your tool Arsenal will allow you to take most of the drilling tasks needed for your project.
Tells separate wood and metal drills
It is understandable how drill bits may look like each other with an inexperienced eye. There are certain elements that you can note to distinguish between both, such as:
Appearance
The first main factor that distinguishes these two drill drills is their appearance mainly because the materials used and coatings are applied to them.
For example, because the metal drill bit is more susceptible to overheating and chipping, some are coated with titanium, black oxide, and cobalt, producing a golden body, copper, and black or dark gray. Meanwhile, because most wooden bits do not have layers, most of them have silver bodies.
Design
Metal drill bits can dig into a harder material because the design is slightly tilted. On the other hand, wooden bits are more vulnerable to hanging away from the center. Thus, they have a sharp tip called Brad for better control and accuracy.
Problem using the wrong bit
While the bit drill is labeled enough when you buy it, having an eye to distinguish them will save a lot of hassle when you explore a little for your project for your project.
As mentioned, drill drill through hard material that can cause a little damaged, or worse, damaged power drill. On the other hand, using your little metal on wood can cause break and even divide your material into two if you are not careful – something you want to avoid by ship builders after hundreds of hours of work on a project.
Right drill for other ingredients
While we usually work with metal and wood as a boat builder, there are times when the project requires us to include other ingredients.
It can include glass and stones, especially for luxury or buildings and high-end repairs. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with having a collection of bits that are suitable for other ingredients.
For plastic
You can use wooden bits for plastic, even for thicker ones such as acrylic or plexiglass. You only need to use a little with the tip sharpened at a slower speed.
High speed can cause plastic to melt and clog your bits in the process, especially if it has a blunt tip. The same technique applies when you use jigsaw to cut plastic.
For Masonry
There are bits specifically designed for drilling through concrete, brick, porcelain, and other types of stones. These bits are usually made with tungsten carbide and strong enough to withstand the effects needed to hammer and destroy stones to “drill” holes.
This action is more similar to digging. Thus, you should not use this bit in the drilling hole in wood because the results will be significantly more rough and not purified.
For glasses and tiles
Finally, there are bits designed to drill glass and tiles. They are usually equipped with rough and rough tips to help shave glass bits.
To drill the glass without breaking it down, you must put it on a soft cloth or several layers of newspapers for support. Keep the surface sprayed with water to cool it. You can also put a little masking masking above the place you want to drill to add traction and keep your little from sliding while working.
Using a Material Specific Drill Bit
The main weapon of Boakbuilder is their skill, but has the right equipment always helpful. Even seasonal artisans can easily blame one tool for another, especially when determining the drill but honestly looks very similar.
Fortunately, there are signs of stories that can help someone distinguish which bit. For example, the color and tip of the drill are somewhat different from each other. Wooden bits do not have coatings, usually come as silver, and have tips like chisels. On the other hand, metal bits are treated with various coatings to increase strength and further support, come in black or copper, and have a slightly tilted tips.
Finally, beware of other bits specifically designed for other materials such as plastic, brick, and glass if your project needs it. Don’t hesitate to check the ship’s diary for more information about artificial ships and other related topics.
