Drilling in all materials

To break the glass, concrete, load bearing wall ... techniques vary. Use the right tool and especially good for successful drill holes. Follow this card that gives you some tips.

Drill Glass

To get a perfect hole in a mirror or window, equip yourself with a special drill whose end is shaped like a half moon. The ideal is to have a drill stand which prevents the bit from slipping on the smooth surface.

Learn about the different types of drills by visiting our form: Drill: different models .

Start by removing the glass on a piece of carpet , cork or any other coating that absorbs vibrations. Place the drill tip to the desired location. Start the drill at slow speed without forcing. If you do not support, just to keep the tool so that the drill does not move.

After some time, the tip begins to bite, the bit from slipping further, increase speed, still without support. Place a drop of oil (any) into the bowl and continue to break up and pass through glass.

Metal Drill

For metal, the technique is the same as for the glass but the drill is different. It should be a model "HSS". Mark the hole location by giving a hammer blow with a big nail: it prevents the bit from slipping. Start slowly and then accelerate . On a thick piece, add oil.

Drill a concrete wall

Pierce the plasterboard

If your house has walls of concrete , equip yourself with a pneumatic drill. It will save you the long minutes of effort it requires material with a conventional hammer drill. With a pneumatic drill, drill is a joy. The drill, special for this kind of machine, goes like butter, without forcing.

Be careful, this efficiency has a downside: in other materials, the drill is too powerful and can cause damage.That is why it is possible to disengage the function type, but the spike behaves like a drill entry level.

Step 4: Drill the tile

Once again, we must start slowly, with the appropriate bit "carbide" . To avoid cracking the tile, do not tilt the drill during drilling and does not engage the hammer. It's a bit long, but the result is guaranteed. Apply the same technique to plaster, terra cotta, concrete, etc..

Wood Drill

Wood Drill

Wood is a bit flat, a wood bit is cylindrical. The first is used for larger holes. For the second diameter is generally less than 20 mm. In either case, prick the tip of the tool on the selected location and drill at medium speed. To avoid chipping the output of material, lay a board across martyrdom .
