      If you get any complaints, just tell HR that you have put yourself through some extra training, and that you needed to go and refer to 'STFUs Tele-correspondence remote training's tape 21 before completing the job. You've just gone from slacking off to being a go-getter. Now just sit back and wait for the promotion 😉👍

      No, I am not trying to be a jerk. Please read...
      I have not watched the video in a year and only vaguely remember the subject matter of said video, but I can give you some answers on this.
      The depth of the cut is wholly dependent on....
      1. the diameter of the part
      2. the type/profile of the thread pattern
      3. the material being used
      This is not the exact answer you were looking for, but there is an engineering specification manual that's constantly referred to by tot that can provide you the information needed.
      Also, quite often tot flashes the page of specifications he is using from that manual. It's quick and easily missed but often it is there.
      Hope this helps somewhat.
      There is also a separate video(s) on cutting threads.

    Hi Tony, hint from across the pond (UK) ..if you get a hard spot in a drill hole in any material and just want to remove it without having to buy a carbide drill or chance ruining one, then use a cheap masonary bit. Just grind the edge as a normal drill on a green wheel BUT also grind the flute face flat (so it presents an almost square edge to the work) this makes the cutting edge incredibly strong and robust. Once youve cleared the hard spot you can return to normal drills again. I always keep a good selection of masonary drills in the workshop for this purpose as its quick and saves a fortune :)

    It is actually VERY easy to anodize TiAl6V4 properly. All you need is a bench power supply going up to approximately 60V DC and you can just use Coke as an Electrolyte because it contains phosphoric acid. Hang a strip of stainless steel or even titanium into a container filled with Coke and your titanium workpiece too. Connect the strip of metal to the negative terminal of your power supply and the workpiece to the positive. Apply around 30V for a nice blue finish, a little less will result in a nice golden finish. (Don't drink the Coke afterwards because it now contains dangerous stuff!). Also, if you need bigger titanium cutoffs, just send me an address where to ship them😉. Greetings from Germany

    8:36 for Titanium I always use HSS-E drills, after I burnt a normal HSS drill much like you did up. With the Cobalt you can easily use it up to 450°C without a lot of damage.
    Even though they cost about twice as much, they are certainly worth it. Especially when you want to drill everything with a single set of drills.
