Perhaps they've updated it because it now says '1/48 scale'.


Same thing, just to confuse people. 1/4" represents 1 foot or 12".
12/48 is 1/4. In other words a 48' long boat in 1/48 scale would be 1'
long. If 1/4" is a 1', it would be 48' x 1/4", 48/4, or 12 ".

A cheap twist drill dulls quickly so then you have to push harder
and then snap.

I like a quality HSS with cobalt twist drill, it stays sharp a lot
longer so it cuts easier and faster.

Fine for larger ones, but thin drills for pilots, you can break any
quality drill by simply being not too exact with the angle. Better to
waste cheap ones.


Breakage has not been a problem for me. I guess US people are more
skilled with a hand drill. ;-)

I'm talking about the thin 2-3mm pilots. A few degrees off the right
angle and they just snap.


I won't let you near my 0.35 mm drills then... A couple of winters ago
I decided to build a model boat and figured starting small was a good
idea. Sweet Jesus, everything was tiny. I've built real boats faster. At
least for me it was not a relaxing experience.

If it's plastic, fine, but drilling into hardwood with a 3mm pilot drill
requires a steady hand, or several spare drill bits.


1/32 x 1/64 brass strip was furnished to fabricate the hardware, and you
have to drill a hole in the 1/32 side for the hinge pins. 1/32" is 0.8mm
so your 3mm isn't going to work. I bought a set of bits that ranged from
.030mm to 1.00mm.

Maybe some people get off on writing the lord's prayer on a pinhead, but
I'm not one of them. If I ever build another boat it wil lbe at least
12' long, not 6 inches, and I won't need 4x magnifiers to see the damn
thing.

I like a model boat to be about 2 foot long, although even that can be fiddly.

If using very small drill bits I insert as much of the shank as I can into the chuck. This lessens the chance of one snapping.

How does that make a difference? You need a certain amount out of the chuck to go into the workpiece.

Cheap drill bits for fine work are money wastedd

No, it means you lose less money when they inevitably fail.

Apropos of nothing does 'touching the dog's ass' have any current
meaning? I watched 'Made in Britain' last night. It was made in 1982 and
was Tim Roth's first movie. I concluded it referred to 'Taking and
Driving Away' but even that seems like an obscure refinement on car
theft in general.

I can't say it was a very edifying movie.

Google says it's 80s speak for stealing a car. I was born in 1975 and have never heard it.

Sounds good to me, and quite realistic compared to the people who live around here, I'll watch it at some point.

It's rather strange. At one point there is a chalk talk where cop, or
maybe a social worker, outlines how the Roth character has ****ed up all
his life and his next step if he ****s up assessment is juvenile
detention or borstal after which he'll be on the endless merry-go-round
in and out of jail. The kid seems to be striving for just that.

I gather it was one part of a tetralogy pointing out how screwed up
Thatcherite Britain was.

I was curious since I am watching 'Tin Star' , and Amazon production
featuring Roth. It's dark and Roth does dark well.
