How do you drill 0.5mm hole?
If no drill bit this size available, can use EDM service if metal is used
What is the benefit to putting oil on a drill bit?
When you drill into something a lot of heat is created due to friction. The heat will cause both the drill bit and the material you are drilling to expand. Especially if you are drilling metal, adding oil will reduce friction, and prevent the drill bit from seizing up in the hole due to the expansion of the bit.
Which drill bit do you use for making a hole in plastic?
The same as for wood or metal, just keep the rpm's down to keep from melting the plastic.
What is the hardest drill bit?
Diamond by nature is the hardest material, therefore Diamond bits are the "hardest." They are only for ceramics though, for drilling in metal, you would use a cobalt, or carbide drill bit.
Why does a drill bit get hot after extended use?
The drill bit's tip is cutting away wood or metal and creating heat because of the friction involved. If you touch the blade of a saw after cutting, you'll notice the same.
What material drill bit is best to drill out bolts?

What type of drill bit do you use to drill a hole in metal?
You use a diamond core tile drill which is the appropriate size to the diameter you need. Common drill sizes for tiles are 6mm and 8mm for rawl plugs. For service pipes they are 16mm 30mm and 40mm. These will cover radiator pipes, waste pipes, shower head and other hole sizes. To stop the diamond core hole saw or drill bit from slipping you need a guide plate to hold it steady on the tile.
What is as bench drill?
