How to drill a file

How to drill a red-hot file in a light? A very simple way that is useful to you in life. A little trick to using the tool for other purposes or not for its intended purpose. A short workshop on red-hot steel drilling.

We drill a red-hot file


So, we fix the file in the grip of a drilling machine. We insert a drill on glass and tile into the chuck. Yes - yes, a drill with which to drill glass or tile.
How to drill a file

Spray the drill plentifully and the drilling site with grease.

And proceed to drilling holes. Everything is like with an ordinary drill and metal.

After a short drill, we’ll raise it.

Again, spray with grease and continue drilling.

The hole was drilled, but not completely. Since the drill on the glass has a cone-shaped soldering, the drilled hole will also have a cone shape when the drill is not completely passing.

To make the hole even, turn the file over and drill the hole on the back.

In most cases, craftsmen take a special drill for such matters and re-sharpen, but I suggested a simpler method.

Why drill a file?


That's right, there’s absolutely no reason to drill it! This is just a good example of how and how to drill red-hot steel, carbide, quick cut.
In general, use it, use it, write comments.

    Plasma cutter cuts ALL of YOU. Even oil is not necessary. At least a file, even a carbide drill with which a file is drilled)) He will definitely make a hole, although it will be difficult to call a hole perfectly even. I make knives from old diamond cutting discs in my free time)))

    Files for strength are cemented rather than calcined. Steel cementation is the surface diffusion saturation of steel with carbon in order to increase hardness and wear resistance.

      the file does not harden only the shank for the handle, the file itself is hardened completely! and cementation is the surface saturation of carbon with steel! which reaches a depth of a few tenths of a millimeter! it will not work on the file!

      Do not tell tales. Try to bend any file. If you can, show it.

      Learn the theory, young man. After cementation, the steel is necessarily hardened. It is subjected to carburization in order to heat up better.

    I used to in a production garage surprised drivers by drilling a spring with an ordinary drill from a quick-cut. The secret is simple: rotation - 50-60 rpm; watering.

    I don’t watch the video, I just read it. I read a lot and for a long time. The corrector in me is indignant at the number of stylistic and grammatical errors. Please check your text before posting.
    By the way, thank you for your advice! If I decide to drill files, I will definitely use carbide cutting tools :)

    An ordinary drill on concrete perfectly drills any hardened steel, and immediately to the passage, with the required hole diameter. You can torment them right from the store, but it is better to master the regrinding for drilling metal. As - look at YouTube on the Exmast channel, there the old teacher of turning skills perfectly tells everything, and, most importantly, shows it.

    In everyday life, this knowledge is not necessary, and in production even without such ignoramuses they know how and how to drill hardened and cermet products. It would be better to show how to harden a stainless steel knife in a kitchen - that’s another task. Many cut hot potatoes and knives are released, they do not hold the sting, the way out is to refuel the blade.

    Why drill a file: at our factory (the factory has long ceased to exist) from two drilled files fastened with a bolt and clamped in a vice did improvised large scissors, with which they cut PVC tubes for tags on wires and cable conductors, with large tailors large quantities of chlorine vinyl chloride in large quantities torment cut, grind the same stray without any effort

    Neither hard alloy nor quick cutter can be drilled. When I was drilling forged steel 45X13, I slipped 3 hard-drilled drills.

    Better than any grease to use a piece of regular fat. You can drill with a conventional drill, only with a low-speed drill.

    The author seems to have a very distant view of tool materials if he recommends drilling a hard alloy ... with a hard alloy.
    Knowledgeable people have come up with everything for a long time!
