its for drilling out spot welds
flatish with a small point so you can drill a spot weld off one sheet of steel and not go trough the one under it |

Knowing what kind of work you have to do Les, I can fully understand where you are coming from .... Nothing worse than traveling miles to carry out a repair, just to find out that you don't have the one thing that you need TJ If it's any consolation to you, my father was exactly the same ( Aircraft engineer ) As a general rule of thumb, if you needed to use one of his tools, it was a case of .. " Best not even go there " That said, you only had to ask & he would do the job for you. It is a real pitty that he passed away just before I started my build, he would have been here every day & would have loved every aspect of the build. One thing is for sure, I would of had a full alloy body for the build, he was an absolute whiz with the English wheel & all things to do with alloy shaping.

Well done Albert
That is a nice video clip Albert
He makes it look dead easy I am thinking " Now, how hard can that be ? " Usually, my first mistake

That is for Wood drills mind you. If you are doing metal work it might not be quite as good.

[/quote] bonzo you are not wrong there i was trying to weld up the exhaust on my bike today when in he walked and after much coo cooing noises and staring at the roof of the garage saying things like damn pigeons have got in again. and then laughing at his own very old joke he said it would be better to weld a whole new side in the silencer , chop out all that rot. so i now have a spanking new silencer made from the side of a fridge all i had to do was make the teas...i,m not daft he just thinks i am.. works every time TJ |
