And more labelmaker tape, of course.

2018-05-22 21:26:54 UTC  

Drills seem good, wasn't sure how they'd be, chink HSS stuff is really hit-or-miss. Haven't used them yet though.

2018-05-22 21:27:14 UTC  

Ive heard thier carbide is good for smaller stuff

2018-05-22 21:27:40 UTC  

Yeah

2018-05-22 21:28:06 UTC  

If it's sold as electronics stuff, it's all made there anyways

2018-05-22 21:29:04 UTC  

And carbide is less of an involved process. Make a mold and heat it up. HSS has some processes involved. So the gap between good and bad is a lot smaller for carbide than HSS.

2018-05-22 21:30:36 UTC  

I'm almost questioning if my drill press has little enough run-out to even use these tiny ones. It's good, but it's also good for being a 5/8 chuck, so that might still be too much for these.

2018-05-22 21:32:07 UTC  

I'll try the 2mm in a hand drill and report back.

2018-05-22 21:32:25 UTC  

Order a chinkshit dial indicator, friend

2018-05-22 21:33:16 UTC  

Have one, can't remember what it got.

2018-05-22 21:33:23 UTC  

Fuck it, I'll check.

2018-05-22 21:37:48 UTC  

HSS needs heat treatment. Carbide is a less involving process for sure

2018-05-22 21:50:08 UTC  

Ha, nevermind, should be fine, 4 thou at around 3.5"

2018-05-22 21:56:21 UTC  

Yeah, drills work well. Good buy, 10/10

2018-05-22 21:58:36 UTC  

Now much did they cost compared to resharpened bits?

2018-05-22 22:01:52 UTC  

For those sizes, you don't sharpen, you replace.

2018-05-22 22:02:27 UTC  

But $3.88 I think.

2018-05-22 22:02:56 UTC  

That labelmaker tape was $3.75, solder kit was $2.14.

2018-05-22 22:03:00 UTC  

I think there are companies that buy used drill bits from CNC companies and sharpen them.

2018-05-22 22:03:34 UTC  

Also tfw not enough money to buy everything you want from china.

2018-05-22 22:04:17 UTC  

Eh, maybe in bulk, but I don't think those are the ones getting sold to consumers. People don't want used drills, even though they're fine, but you can make that pitch to customers who know what's what.

2018-05-22 22:04:43 UTC  

But even then, I can't see anything that small being worth it. Past 1/4" maybe.

2018-05-22 22:06:17 UTC  

Not china and kinda shady but google gave me https://drillcity.stores.yahoo.net/restool.html

2018-05-22 22:06:51 UTC  

I don't know enough about drill bits to know how large those are.

2018-05-22 22:13:41 UTC  

Holy

2018-05-22 22:13:47 UTC  

That site is pure comfy

2018-05-22 22:13:56 UTC  

How can you call it shady?

2018-05-22 22:14:09 UTC  

its like 2004 web desgin dude

2018-05-22 22:15:37 UTC  

Well shit, I hadn't expected that small to be viable. They are carbide ones, not steel, but still.

2018-05-22 22:26:23 UTC  

What's your point, ben? <:thvnk:332928260004642827>

2018-05-22 22:27:40 UTC  

idk

2018-05-22 22:35:53 UTC  

So I bought a cheap knife from ebay

2018-05-22 22:36:13 UTC  

and it has this tracking i've never heard of before

2018-05-22 22:36:29 UTC  

Does anyone know how long Winit takes

2018-05-22 22:37:28 UTC  

who knows

2018-05-22 22:37:37 UTC  

i'd just forget about it

2018-05-22 22:37:41 UTC  

it'll prob turn up one day
