FIXXXXAH 10-05-2002, 10:56 PM WELL, AFTER HANGING THE REVERSED SPRINGS AND BOUNCING ON THEM, I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MUST REVERSE THE SECOND LEAF. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF THE EASIEST WAY TO DRILL THESE [NOT INVOLVING 5 CHEWED BITS] I'M THINKING I MAY BE ABLE TO FIND A CARBIDE BIT FOR ONE OF THE OLD MILL'S IN OUR SHOP? ANY OTHER OPTIONS? THANKS, MATT r77toy 10-06-2002, 07:02 AM A cobalt drill will cut it or a carbide tipped masonary drill. FIXXXXAH 10-06-2002, 08:29 AM AND ONE BIT WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE 4 SPRINGS? EricFJ40 10-06-2002, 10:00 AM If you can turn it slow enough, 80-100 RPM, a standard High speed steel drill with a 135 degree point will eat right through it. I've drilled a bunch of springs this way and only have to sharpen the bit every 5-6 holes. cruzila 10-06-2002, 10:11 AM .................and keep lots of oil on it.:) | |
