Drilling (or sawing) of neodymium magnets is absolutely not recommended. First of all, the material is brittle and fragile. Secondly, drilling causes combustible dust and, thirdly, the heat caused by the drill can possibly demagnetise the material. Specialists can work with the magnets with specialised diamond-tipped tools and constant water cooling. However, this normally occurs prior to magnetisation of the material. See similar questions...

Smallest achievable hole size (and largest achievable hole size) is dependent on the material, material thickness and laser used. It is possible to drill 1 micron holes through thin material at aspect ratios of up to 100 to 1. It must be remembered, however, that there will usually be taper associated with the holes and the entrance diameter will be larger than the exit. We normally specify EXIT diameters.

Zinc provides sacrificial protection to steel with steel beginning to corrode once there is no zinc present. Applying a zinc-rich paint over a drilled or exposed area will provide corrosion protection. See similar questions...

Use a carbide-tipped masonry bit or diamond drill bit; Fegular twist-drill bits can't cut through the fire-hardened glaze. Not necessarily. Porcelain tile is no different in temperature than anything else in the room except that it holds its temperature better because of its mass. Of course, cool is good in warm weather climates and it's easy to warm things up with an area rug or two. See similar questions...

We recommend the hole be a factory supplied option. What we do is actually disassemble the valve, indicate the ball dead center on 1 side, drill deburr, reassemble and then test the valve. This way we are certain that if the valve is installed following the manufacturers instructions, there will be no problems. See similar questions...

We recommend securing the model on a survey table. Then prepare the drill hole in the model using a drill press (available from any hardware store). Freehanded drilling is not recommended. See similar questions...

The wood at the center of the piece has almost a  “Zero” velocity across the tip of the tool, and that can make it difficult to turn. Sometimes this is a problem, and sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes I drill into the center, and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I don’t, then change my mind, and drill later.  Sometimes I do when I didn’t need to, and then it was a wasted effort.  I don’t think it matters. See similar questions...

No. The system can be installed differently depending on your needs. We recommend drilling a hole to allow the camera to be mounted on an angle, which gives you depth perception and a wider viewing area. See similar questions...

We do not have an accessory bit that will drill through glass. Working with glass is exceptionally hot. It requires a bath or wash on the accessory and the material. We do not recommend using a bath/wash with our tool, as the centrifugal force will send the liquid up the shaft of the tool into the motor. See similar questions...

Never hold the bead in your fingers to drill a hole. Hold the bead in some kind of pliers or clamp and drill the hole with our drill press. See similar questions...

No. Although some offices use this technique to acquire better adaptation, we at ChicSmiles do not recommend drilling a hole. With no hole drilled, you can easily remove this crystal without further procedures to cover the hole. See similar questions...

The National Guard is a part-time commitment. Your drill periods typically consist of one weekend per month, and one annual two-week period. See similar questions...

That depends on a combination of things, including your current MOS, what you want to do in the Guard, and where you'd like to serve. Typically, it will be at an armory near your hometown. Talk to a recruiter for more insight. See similar questions...

quot;On-Glass" antennas are easy to install and do not diminish a vehicle's value by drilling a hole. Care must be taken during installation to ensure that the antenna is mounted high up on the glass and not over defogger wires or on reflective window tint and this could impede performance. Magnetic-mount" This step-up, allows the easy placement and removal of your antenna on the rooftop of your vehicle. Very useful for multiple vehicle applications. See similar questions...

Open the hood and look at the firewall, all the way towards the driver side fender, below the driver's windshield wiper. You will see a large black 2" x 3" wiring harness that passes through the firewall which is secured by a nut along the top edge. You can drill a hole just off the lower left corner of this connector from the inside of the car. See similar questions...

We offers 6 different styles of saws for most applications and these saws have been designed for production work. There are many factors that need to be considered, but in some applications, carbide hole saws will out last bi-metal hole saws 200-1. See similar questions...

Porcelain is very hard and has to be cut using a diamond drill under running water to keep the sample cool. Any excessive heating would interfere with the TL. A hollow core drill is the safest way of doing this. The core is cut into thin slices using a fine, water-cooled diamond blade and the slices used for TL (pre-dose) measurements. See similar questions...

Yes, excellent traction BOTH wet & dry. In fact, better than wood. This is due to a combination of product formulation and our embossed grain surface. See similar questions...

For the first time EZ Stent user, we recommend passing your pilot drill through the drill sleeve once prior to surgery to ensure no obstruction. The pilot drill sizes of different brands may vary slightly (Ø2.0mm to 2.3mm). Tip: A pilot drill from Straumann (Ø2.2mm short or long) fits particularly well in the EZ Stent, and can be used to substitute the pilot drill of any other brand. See similar questions...
