To determine the size of band saw needed:

Primary criteria:

  • If the band saw is required for professional or industrial use:

A floor standing cabinet model can be selected which include added fetures not found on bench top models.

  • If the band saw is required for home or woodworking hobbyist use:

A bench top model would be sufficient.

Secondary criteria:

Who makes ironsmith drills?

Hi, this is Mike, with The Home Depot

Who makes Craftsman drills? Well that's a question you will have to pose to Sears Holdings Corporation. Sears created the Craftsman brand and has had a great deal of success with it over the years.

Based on my examination of their products, and information I have gleaned form vendors, they use several manufactures, for their drills. I cannot quote exactly who, as I may be wrong. But I can say their products with very few exceptions are well made and of very good quality.

I have seen Craftsman products that bear a very striking resemblance to models from Bosch, Black and Decker, Skill, Dewalt, and Ryobi. Do these manufactures make products for Sears? Only Sears knows for sure.

Sears has spend a great deal of money promoting their private label brand and I am sure they make every effort to maintain the image of the Craftsman brand as one of high quality and value.

I hope this information is useful to you.

How do you drill acrylic?

with a drill bit......

ANS 2 - It helps if you use an automatic centre punch first, so the bit doesn't slide. Also it's better if the drill bit is NOT new, so the edges are not extremely sharp. Drill at a fairly low speed (450-500 rpm) for best results. ( This all applies to Plexiglass too )

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.
