Quote Useful information about drill bit selection You have to choose different drill bits and drilling methods depending on the material you want to work on. Procedure: Here you will find out what each drill bit is suitable for: 1 Drilling in metal: HSS drill bits with a partially ground tip are suitable for non-ferrous metals. These include aluminium, copper, brass, zinc, iron and non-alloyed steel. 2 Drilling in wood: Brad point drill bits have a long centring tip with two pre-cutting spurs. These spurs score the wood fibres; the internal cutting edges then cut them out cleanly. Forstner drill bits, hardware drill bits or hinge cutting bits are usually used for larger drill bit diameters; there are auger bits for deep holes in wood. 3 Drilling in concrete: Masonry made of clinker, brick or concrete requires an impact drill or a rotary hammer to be used. However, if the wall consists of perforated stones with porous material, only rotary drilling is performed (i.e. without impact). The same applies to porous bricks and boarded walls. A masonry drill bit is required for all work in these materials. It has soldered-in tungsten-carbide plates on the drill bit tip.

mjmooney Posted June 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2019 Time to bring the record filing discussion over here to its natural home. I have recently acquired a CD made by a local band, fronted by an old mate. The band is called "Mister Dodo Bones and the One-Eyed Jacks". Should it he filed under "M" (for the band name "Mister...") ? Or "D" (for "Dodo Bones") ? Or "B" (for "Bones") ? Or "F" (the bloke's real name is Dave Foster) ?

Although if somebody asks me who I'm going to see, I'd always say "Dave Foster's band", rather than the daft name he's adopted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Early PJ Harvey was the band name, same as Alice Cooper, how would both of them be filed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey would go under H, as it is actually her surname. Alice Cooper however is a pseudonym, so would go under A. Not my problem though, as I don't own physical discs by either. I've downloaded a couple of Coopers from Spotify, but no interest in Harvey (I've always assumed she's some sort of UK version of the tedious Patti Smith).

I find your lack of VT Boredom Resistance quite disturbing & a little disappointing if I am honest. All that training, 9500 posts for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that keen on a lot of her earlier stuff, but in the past decade or so, She's been absolutely brilliant. Worth trying a few tracks on spotify or whatever. Probably one for the album thread really. Anyway, on topic it's a bit cloudy here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
