What safety tips can you think of for operating a drill press?
The common, eye protection, hearing protection & mask are a given.
0 How close do you let your fingers get to the spinnig drill bit?
0 What speed level do you choose for the following
-Softwoods
-Hardwoods
-Plywood
-Plastics
-Sheet Metal
-Thick guage steel
Whats the general rule for when you should or should not clamp something?
Just curious to hear any other tips or tricks people have for drill vises
Fingers , if you want to keep them, should not be close to the
chuck or bit at all.
Small pieces should be held with something other than hands.
In general ,clamping in a drill vise is safest.
Slow for soft materials & faster for harder materials.
Boring large diameter holes in wood except for spade bits or Forstner bits are best done using pilot holes to avoid chatter & splitting.
Slow drilling w/ light pressure for plastics since heat will just weld material to the drill & cause sloppy holes
Metals are drilled at higher speed w/ the proper bits.
Cutting oil helps keep the drill from binding in thick sections.& clears chips.
Basics…
Sharp bits., “piloting”, no undue pressure, center punching , patience & a good work light.
Best regards
