It sounds like you need a variable speed drill. There was an item on the market a few years ago that you could plug your drill into and control its speed. I haven't seen one lately since most new drills have variable speed built into the drill. On a drill press all you need to do is move the drive belt to the smallest pulley on the motor and the biggest pulley on the drill spindle.
There are a few ways of doing it depending on the exact geometry, size, and tolerance. You could drill the hole before cutting the profile that results in the partial entry. You could drill very carefully and slowly, stepping up the drill from a small size to the final size, if the smaller size would enter complete. You could make a fixture to fit over the part so the drill is guided into it. There are low melting alloys you can pour around the area to make a complete entry. You then melt the alloy away.
Hss drill bits, Titanium coated drill bits and brad point drill bits.
A titanium or cobalt drill bit.
Because it's on the floor and a bench drill is on the bench.
A road drill.
The formula you are looking for is W = A x V. Watts = Amps x Volts.
The formula you are looking for is W = A x V. Watts = Amps x Volts.
Power = Volts * current [p = E*I]; 120volts*10amps = 1200watts
Very slowly and have lots of extra drill bits.
Use a brand-new bit for metal mounted on a hand drill (not electric). Slowly rotate the bit in the lead, which is a "soft" metal.
Both will. Carbide tips will last longer but the black ones will also. The key is to run the drill slowly and use oil.
Drill here drill now
You can use a standard HSS drill bit with the edge slightly dulled with a grinder so it does not 'break through' at the outside edge. -Drill slowly and hold the drill steady. I always put a piece of smooth scrap wood at the point where the drill bit is going to come out.
Very slowly with a Carbide drill bit or Diamond core bit, both will work, but the diamond core bit works much better, make sure the bit has a constant flow of coolant or be submerged in the coolant. (go very slowly, do not apply much pressure, let the bit do the cutting) The best way is to use a drill press but a hand drill will work.
i think you should drill through the wall slowly The question was about drilling an hole in a mirror. I think the correct way to do this is to mark out where the hole is required, get some putty and form a cupped mound below, fill with varsol or white spirit, and drill the hole slowly with a special glass drill bit. You must keep the bit lubricated with the liquid to dissipate heat and prevent the mirror from cracking.
A hollow diamond drill bit, with lots of water, cutting slowly, will do the job. Ideally in a drill press of some kind instead of freehand. Diamond bits in rotary tools like Foredom or Dremel may do it, if it's suitable to use them with lots of water.
No, a rotating masonry drill bit adjacent to a cable will not create a magnetic field and no it could not disrupt the electrical current within the cable .
