Drill Press: dill bits

t00lb0x · 08-10-2003, 04:45 PM

I was thinking of getting this drill press. Thanks to #rotor's recommendation. But I was wondering which types of drill bits I should get for this. Like Titanium, ect. I just want to make a waterblock with this drill press.

Looks like your link is broken; it leads to search results for solder.

What is a "dill bit"?

Lol, I use the same bits I use in my hand drill in my drill press.

I meant "drill bits" and okay I guess that works

t00lb0x, just don't use the cheapest ones you can find, and I wouldn't go with the drill bits that are sold in all the diameters in one box, in my experience, they are (mostly) crap.
Go and buy the decent ones, buy only a few in diameters you need, and you're good to go. The drill bits I used costed approx 2.5 euro each (small ones almost 5 euro a piece), they are HSS-super, nothing fancy and they work very well.

You'll be satisfied with the result, and you won't ruin that (almost finished) workpiece...

Cheers!

thing i learnt about drill bits (from my dads business) is that dont buy the expensive ones. the thing that is inevitable is a burnt bit or a breakage (pushing the block around to make holes wider etc...) buy the middle priced ones so if it breakes u can easily afford it but it isnt sh!t quality.
edit: also all this titanium bits and gimmick is bullshit, buy the basic ones from hardware house or similar sorta hardware place (ask the guy if they arent teenagers they will know what to suit u)
