Drilling bolts- how many holes?

[Jim]

i'd rather buy the obvious ones like pinch bolts, caliper bolts, and brake pad pins from them. maybe $60 and you've got perfected drilled stainless bolts. that's worth the time wasted in drilling.

I am more of a fan of drilling all the way through.. It is a bit more work. Especially if you don't have a drill press and a vise.

Bits..... Go in a horses mouth..

Drills go in a drill chuck to cut metal.

Titanium is used to make light strong parts. (consumer advertising is stupid).
Titanium Nitride is used to coat a steel or carbide cutting tool to make the surface of the tool harder and more heat resistant...

The best drills for safety wire purposes are ones made from cobalt and with a 135° split point. Real cutting oil will make it go a lot better too. You need plenty of RPM for a 1/16" drill to cut well.

Side pressure is the enemy. So is break out on the far side. When you start breaking out you need to ease up on the pressure.



Sorry
