ARGH!! can't drill small hole in copper
Copper is very soft and needs to be peck drilled.
You take tiny amounts out at a time. Must also keep it cool. It tends to wad up on drills unless done correctly. Some swear that milk is the only thing to drill or bore copper. Martin On 1/10/2016 3:49 PM, wrote: Offset the center of the drill |
