DIY Fish Pond - Breaking/removing boulder by hands - How to make masonry drill bit last 5X longer?
#DIYFishPond
#MasonryDrill
#BreakingBoulders
00:00 Introduction
00:55 First trick: using coolant
04:33 Better cooling
09:23 Second trick: pre-drill the holes
28:19 Final count and conclusion
I was digging a fish pond in my backyard then I ran into some boulders that are too big for me to move them out by myself. I learned a method to break rocks into smaller piece using hammer drill and feather type chisels. The process is simple:
- Drill a line of holes
- Set up the chisels in the holes
- Use a hammer to force the chisels into the rock to create a crack
I was able to break a boulder into few small pieces but the masonry drill bits got hot and loss their performance very quickly.
I found 2 tricks that help me keep drilling with those bits to make the most out of them:
- Use a coolant fluid to cool down the bit after each hole
- When the bits got dull, use a smaller bit to pre-drill the hole then use the big one to drill to size will help drill faster
Using these 2 tricks, I was able to extend to almost 5X longer the lifespan of each drill bit.

How to make metal cold cut blade cuts and lasts on a abrasive saw (1800rpm blade on 3800rpm saw)
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
I had a project to cut many pieces out of U shape steel bars, 4" wide, 1.5" high, 48" long. I started with a new abrasive blade but it seems that the cut was very slow. It will take me forever to cut all the pieces that I need. I decided to use a cold cut saw blade. This saw blade runs at maximum speed of 1800rpm and my saw was rated at 3800rpm. If I used the blade at the full speed, the blade ...
DIY CNC - upgrading to Aluminum brackets for steel milling
มุมมอง 4.6Kปีที่แล้ว
In my last video, I started building a new CNC machine with the aim of milling steel using a 3018 CNC. Since the 3018 CNC is very flimsy and can only be used to mill wood and plastic, I build the first version of my CNC using plywood brackets. After the first version was built, now I'm ready to cut Aluminum brackets to make the machine more sturdy and rigid to mill steel. After changing all the...

    i got the same model a few months ago and its been awsome. 10x better than my saintsmart 3018 prover 2 ( it was half plastic!) this is so much more solid ,all metal, and came with a 5.5w laser that actually works pretty good also. . i did turn up all the max speeds and accelerations and now it runs about 15 X faster with no noticable loss of performance. . i mill aluminum often you can go faster than in the video but id suggest small step downs and using a vacuume brush attatchment , or like me just 3d print a spindle fan to blow away the chips as it goes, and use just a bit of cutting fluid or lubricant to get rid of any chatter .

    @incubatork 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A very helpful video as not all machines come with limit switches for all they should, only thing I would say is its better to use normally closed rather than normally open, the reason being with normally open if a wire comes of or is cut somehow you will not know till you crash the machine, with normally closed there is current going through all the wires, if one comes off or is cut the machine will sense and stop and give you a warning but if everything is ok. will also work as normal.

    Great job, as I mentioned in a previous video using normally open on a limit switch can be dangerous, if one of the wires comes off or is cut without you noticing you can crash the machine as no alarm is sent, but by using normally closed if a wire comes off or is cut you will get an alarm and the machine will stop. I am amazed at some of your builds, you make things look so easy, I`m slowly working through all your videos, thanks for sharing.
