Another great video Nick. I’ve been woodworking for over 40 years starting under the tutelage of my dad. He always said that if you can read, you can figure anything out- but I must admit that properly executed videos have been a great help to me. You are consistently one of the video sites that I trust (some sites leave me with the hair on the back of my neck standing up…). I appreciate your videos because like my dad, you explain WHY you do it this way rather than tell you how to do it. The WHY is every bit as important as the how because it helps with other related tasks. Happy Woodworking!

@@TomSaw_de So true. Many years ago, when working towards a pilot's license, I had a good deal of trouble learning to land the airplane -- my instructor simply gave me a series of procedures with no theory or theme to connect them. I happened on a book written by a famous pilot who detailed his trials learning to bring a plane down safely in which he explained the physics and the traditions behind each step -- the whys, as you put it. It was eye-opening. Furthermore that info enabled me to improvise safely in later years when the weather or runway conditions weren't as amenable as they were when I was just learning. The whys aren't just necessary to doing it right, they are vital to doing it when the circumstances call for creativity.

You're a fantastic teacher, Nick. All these tips are great. I would add a caution on the tape trick, because it only works to the point where the tape fills with dust, pushes upward, and then you blow out the back of what you're doing. Also, thank you for the "no glove" tip - really, you should never wear gloves for the same reason associated with the drill press, with any power tool.

Good advice. I would add that it's important to select the correct RPM range for a particular size bit and material. Generally, smaller bits require higher rpms. And wood is much softer than steel or brass which require slower speeds and may need a lubricant. Find a chart online that gives this info - it should not be difficult to find.

Good video, thank you! I worked in machine job shops for forty eight years and the most dangerous machine in the shop is the drill press. Drilling and counter drilling brass or brass alloys are especially dangerous. They will suck the bit down into the material and either lift the work off the table, or jerk it out of your hand, sometimes even when the workpiece is in a vise. Clamp the part, vise, or work holding device to the table for safety. If a person drills lots of brass for ornamentation, grind a flat on the lip of the drill to dull it and it won’t suck into the workpiece and it still cut fine. You may need drills done this way just for use on brass. Some grainy woods will do the same thing and the dull lip method may cause a hasty hole, so clamping is the best method. Counter drilling for a closer sized hole will be the most opportunity for sucking the drill in brass, thin or sheet metal, and some woods. Longer pieces can rest against the press column to prevent spinning. A fence can be a great safety feature as well. Another thing to help counter drill for size is to grind a small radius on the drill flutes. This really helps the drill size the hole correctly and prevent suck down in wood. The only times I was ever cut badly in all my many years was drill press injuries. Be Careful and Stay Safe!
@WorkshopCompanion
@WorkshopCompanion Жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing. And you're quite right about the drill press -- it's just as dangerous as the tools with whirling saws and knives. Perhaps more so, because you're not on you guard as much with a drill press as you are with a saw or and jointer.

Glove tip is clutch. Had a close call with that myself. A shorter V-block stood on end is also a good way to get your hand drill perpendicular to the workpiece.

Now I know why I stripped a few screws. The drill was set too high. Glad you put that in there. Thanks

Great video! I can't help but think the doggo has back legs the size of Ronnie Coleman's legs because he's always standing, haha.

The dog stole the show.....as always! While I don't have one yet, woodworkers also have fractional twist bit sets. These cover the slightest sizes between standard bit sets

I don't know where you're writing from, but here in America we commonly have twist bits available in fractional, metric, numbered, and lettered sizes. It's a ridiculously confusing system and you need a huge chart to determine what's what, but the result is that we have over 150 diameters commonly available between .013" and .5" (.33 mm and 13 mm).
