Triumph Twist Drill 071448 SF-42 Solid Carbide Miniature Bur with Tree Shape and 1/4" Shank

Triumph Twist Drill 071448 SF-42 Solid Carbide Miniature Bur with Tree Shape and 1/4" Shank Review



A carbide bur is a rotating tool that is used for removing material, as well as deburring, cleaning, finishing, smoothing, shaping, and carving. Basically, the tool rotates at a very high RPM (rotations per minute), allowing it to manipulate the material it is working on. Carbide burs are very versatile tools, and they are used by a wide variety of people. They are commonly used in dentistry, diamond cutting, jewelry making, and auto head porting, as well as equine dentistry, sculpting, welding, and windshield repairing. Double cut carbide burs can be used at slower speeds, and produce smaller chips. They remove harder material more rapidly than single cut burs, and offer more operator control. Depending upon the shape and size of the bur you choose, some will leave a very smooth surface on your material, while others will leave a less smooth surface but might remove more material. Non-ferrous carbide burs are exactly what they sound like. They are specialized burs designed for using with non-ferrous material, like aluminum, copper, and magnesium.

Aluminum Open End Blind Rivet 1/8" Diameter , .525" Length, Drill # 30, Grip .313"-.375" (Pack of 100)

Aluminum Open End Blind Rivet 1/8" Diameter , .525" Length, Drill # 30, Grip .313"-.375" (Pack of 100) Review



Blind rivets provide a way to join parts together when you don't have access to both sides. They consist of a rivet (a hollow body with a head) and a mandrel (a thin nail with a bulbed end). Rivets require a setting tool for installation. Riveted joints are strong, tight, and extremely reliable. How to install a blind rivet. Insert the rivet through a hole that passes through both materials being joined. Using a rivet tool with the same size nosepiece as the rivet diameter, grip the mandrel and pull the trigger or lever. The tool pulls the mandrel through the rivet, deforming the rivet's body and breaking off the excess mandrel.

    Dremel 212 Moto-tool Drill Press Stand #

    Dremel 212 Moto-tool Drill Press Stand # Review



    Dremel 212 Moto-tool Drill Press Stand # Feature

    • Description: Drill Press Stand.
    • Collet Capacity (inch): 1/8.
    If you’re reading this, you’re probably already a Dremel owner, and we don’t have to tell you how incredibly versatile this little tool is. Adding the drill press attachment will expand your Dremel capabilities, turning it into a drill press as well as a great stationary sanding tool. We wouldn’t use this in place of a regular drill press, mind you, but it has its own range of uses that a benchtop or floor model isn’t suited for. Precise micro holes are a cinch with the Dremel in this stand; it’s smooth-riding and sturdy, and you Dremel users know how well it drives the smallest bits, the kind a regular drill press would swallow up. We like that you can mount the Dremel horizontally as well, so your Dremel becomes a mini stationary sander—just bring your workpiece to it. We think there are parts, like the base, that could be beefier, but for the price, we like it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste Can be used as a drill press Drills perpendicular and angled holes in 15 degree increments up to 90 degrees horizontal Tool holder holds tool at 90 degrees horizontal for tasks such as polishing metal objects, sanding different shapes and grinding metal pieces Flex shaft tool stand allows telescopic adjustment to any height between 16 and 29 inches Crow's nest provides on- board storage for drill bits, wrenches and other Dremel accessories Cord management clips for safe storage of power cords Inch and metric marking on base for accurate drilling of workpiece Depth markings with depth stop for consistent depth adjustment Sturdy metal base with 4 clamping points to securely hold workpiece Includes: work station attachment, mounting wrench and instructions
