Modifying A Twist Drill For Drilling Brass.
Added 2015-10-11 05:32:18 +0000 UTCHey Folks,
The main clock video is uploading as I write this, so all going well you'll see it in about 12 hours.
Until then, here's an additional spare parts video that I recorded yesterday afternoon. I've been meaning to record something about the problems with drilling brass for some time, and decided that since the next clock episode has a lot of drilling, that now is the perfect time.
All the best,
Chris.

Well frak me. That is a handy tip that I have been looking for ages. Granted I mostly work on steel but as Ruben mentions plastics and polyesters tend to grab too and so that alone is worth a separate set of drill bits. Cheers Chris!
