    I did 20 years working on KC-135 aircraft sheet metal, mostly aluminum repairs, but we had to learn to drill steel, stainless, and even titanium and the key is using the right speed with the right feed pressure. For aluminum, you use a higher speed with little pressure, with steel and stainless you utilize slow speed with more feed pressure, not enough to break the bits as we saw, but enough pressure with the slow speed to produce curls and not chips if possible. Using a cordless drill with the ability to vary the speed is probably your best option because you can reduce the speed easily. You could use high-speed steel or cobalt bits on steel, but it does help to get better quality ones. Another tool you should get is an automatic center punch to spot your initial drill points. Also, if you need to drill off rivets or similar rounded fasteners you can sand/file a flat spot on them first. As for drilling spot welds, you can take a 1/4" bit and flatten the tip angle of the flukes so it can drill through the top sheet but not pierce the bottom so readily. As for welding holes, you can also buy/make a copper "spoon" to put behind the hole to lay the weldment fill across the hole better, the copper won't stick to the steel. They also make magnetic hole fill aids that attach to the back surface and are adjustable for depth, they sort of look/act like Euro cabinet hinges. Using the disc grinder can be difficult in some areas, they make a wand-style die grinder, like a big Dremel, that can use burrs and ceramic stones for cutting, shaping, and smoothing.

    Having spent over 30 years replacing rusty metal during classic car restos in the UK- my hobby- I say cracking job for first time, well done! I’d offer to help but it’s a bit of a commute....
    One tip- if you can get behind any of the holes, a piece of copper clamped behind means you can build the puddle without risk of blowing through and do a hole almost in one go. I use a bit of 3/4 copper pipe hammered flat if I can’t find anything else. The weld won’t stick to copper. Don’t use brass- it explodes if you electric weld it!

  • @edwin_denil

    Hi Sarah, just a good welding tip for welding holes in sheet metal. Hold a copper bar or flattened water pipe on the back of the sheet. The weld does not stick to copper so you can fill up the hole without the weld faling out of the hole. I always use old copper water or gas tubing that a flatten and bend in different shapes. I even put some wooden handes on some... 😉👍

    Hi Sarah, Great Effort considering the heat.
    When you go to fill in holes with a mig welder a great trick is to use either a bit of copper plate/ strip bent around some wire/ coat hanger so you can bend the wire to reach the area you are going to fill. Also a brass door knob (hardware shop) held behind the hole or aluminium strip 25mm wide is what I use bent at the end and it is around 35cm long 14" x 1".
    I hope this helps.

    It's probably already been said in the comments Sarah, but you can get drill bits for spot welds that just take off the first layer of metal.

  • @TheCimbrianBull
    @TheCimbrianBull 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Please, Sarah! Use active ventilation when welding. Or at least a face mask with a carbon filter! Even short term inhalation of welding fumes can be carcinogenic. Your health comes first!

    Welders do it in all positions. Love the videos and the way you tell your story about how you are learning about each and every thing you have learned to do. Keep it up. Looks good. I would help you but I’m sure you don’t want every guy knowing where you are.

    SURRAH....as for removing that adhesive. Several machinist, car repair and fabricators told me to use "CITRONELLA Oil or Fuel' to remove Tough adhesives??? I called BullS hit when they told me and broke down and tried it. WOW....it's like a Frickin Miracle!! If it won't come off at first and it's on the roof/ceiling put it on a rag and secure it to the area for a few minutes. I was Dumbfounded how well it worked. Something about the oil/petro/etc.....Damn Magic Bullett stuff right there. Stay Strong Grasshopper.

    Great job learning to weld!!!!!Practice is the key. That said, if you get a good spot weld cutter it will allow you to remove spot weld without making a hundred holes that will take you a day to weld up and then grind down. You can get them on amazon as well and a new bit that you broke.

    While I'm just like every other heterosexual male watching your channel and love the short shorts while working on the car, doing this kind of work might be the time to put on some long pants. You are definitely hard core! edit: I just got to the 10 minute mark! Even grinding and drilling sitting in that car with shorts on wouldn't be top of my list.

    A little tech tip. If You clamp a small piece of copper to the back side if the hole it keeps the weld from falling through. The weld will not stick to the copper. You can cut open copper tubing and hammer it flat if You can't find small plates.
