How do you adjust the chuck on the drill to fit the drill bit?

Depending on the size or the bit and the chuck, you can use a "collar " on the bit. Make one out of something that will slide firmly onto the outside of the bit. like the plastic tube from inside a ball point pen, a piece of aquarium tubing, etc. You can also buy 1/4" shank bits with small diameter ends. They are made to use in power screwdrivers, but will work in your drill. Hope this helps !

What does a Coping Saw look like?

Detail cutting in general and when you fit two pieces of trim at the corner you can either cut them at a 45 degree angle or you can "cope" them. To do this, you put the first piece in place full length with a straight cut on the end. Cut a 45 degree angle on the second piece and that will give you the profile of the molding. Use the coping saw to cut the exposed wood away at the edge of the cut so that only the face remains. This will fit into the first piece and give you a better fit than a simple 45 degree cut. If the room is not exactly square, this type of cut allows for that since all you see is the finished edge.

How do you remove a drill chuck from a drill?

What drill bits to use on cast iron?

I'm no expert, but broke off 1 old brass bolt flush in the cast iron flange of a toilet drain- I then used a metal bit to drill holes for the toilet riser/extender thing to attach to. This all stemmed from a remodel and having mounting bolts too short for the new bowl. The mason bit i tried didn't work as well as the metal bit. I started out small and worked my way up in size.

What is a theodolite?

A theodolite is a Surveyor's measuring instrument that began to take its present form in the 17th century. In the work, 'The Surveyor in Foure Books' by Aaron Rathborne (London, 1616) an elaborate drawing of a theodolite can be seen on the front piece. These were used as early surveying tools, and were extremely acurate. Thomas Jefferson used such an instrument during his time as a surveyor. Later versions are also known as "Dumpy Theodolite", while 20th century versions use extremely fine optics, or lasers. The tool in it's present,modern versions is indespensible as a surveying/mapping tool. Wala lang...Kervin to of BSCE 3-1 PUPSMB
Theodolites- pronounced as it is spelled, are surveying instruments of high precision and accuracy. They are a more sophisticated form of what is usually called a transit. The Theodolite is always operated from a tripod and has Base (circular) and Cylindrical levels on the instrument to keep it level. The name is thought to derive from the Greek- approximately ( The Eye of God). Modern engineering, building and bridge construction, etc, even mining, could not function without the theodolite and the more modern derivatives using electronic devices and GPS. ( progress in full swing, as with Cameras and electronic measurement of parameters, as with modern non-digital Nikons.) By the way Nikon makes theodolites. One of the best historically and by no means an obsolete instrument was/is the Wilde-Zeiss theodolite which reached its present form around l938. a common sight on Gotham building sites. Their uses are many!
