Netters:
If you can't wait for your Boeing Lube to arrive from Avery tools, try this:
Heat up your drill bit with a lighter or match, and dip the drill bit into a
wax toilet seal ring. You can get them from Home Depot, or almost anywhere,
they're cheap and it works. I keep a wax toilet ring
Bill,
I had the same experience drilling stainless. I used a good tungsten carbide
bit and set the drill press for the correct speed. The first hole went in
okay, the second much harder, and the third one gave me a ball of fire and a
melted tip on the bit.
I contacted a friend that is restor
I have (had) some stuff called "Boeing Lube". I am pretty sure it is
Boeing as in 737, 747, 777 etc.
It looks like soap and melts about like candle wax. I heat up the drill
bit with a match - just enough to melt some onto the tip - works a treat
with any metal, particularly good with stainless -
You can get BoeLube from Avery Tools. They are a supplier of all things RV
and metal working. You will want their catalog as they have a lot of neat
stuff.
I have been making a lot of holes in my firewall, both large and small. For
drilling, I am using a good steel cutting bit I got from the hardw
ssage -
