The length of time of a video depends on the content. On these Tidbits videos a person could stop the video between the different projects and always come back to watch the rest later on. This forty minutes seemed alot shorter to me. Good stuff Gary I always pick up a lot of information from you.

At 36: 00, you said that in aluminum you use end Mills as drill bits more often than drills. I'm pretty sure I know what you're referring to, but can you expand on this a little? Are you reasons more the speed, the service finish? Something else I'm not considering? Always looking to learn something new if I can
@OldIronMachineWorks2 жыл бұрын
I should clarify that I prefer an end I’ll with aluminum and when in a milling machine. The end mill is more rigid and will cut a true hole. But if you were to try it in a drill press I don’t think you would get a very good outcome.
