:ugh:
Titanium my a**

wtf, 3 bits? did you keep the bit level?

Of course it was level. I wasn't even pushing. They just snagged up randomly.

they have a warranty against failures like that you can claim? what bolt were you trying to drill out?

But I was able to hollow out the hole...so I went to Home Depot and get a nut/bolt. Can't be driving around without a seat, ya know.

In the meantime, I was driving around in my brothers current car/my old car...the golden chariot :thumbsup:

Just a day in my life. I'm sure the final product will be great.

old school nissan :ben:

Notice the po' man's body work...zip ties on the grille. LOVE it.

Yea...I got it all together no problem. Then I cleaned the interior so I was happy again. Now I just need my ampsssssss.

BTW today was rewire day...new RCA's, all new speaker wire, I even ran another run of speaker wire from the crossover in the doors to the kicks, for when I upgrade to 3 way passive :woot:

you gotta color the zip ties to match the car :grinno:

I've seen the same thing happen with titanium in people a few times :run: . This usually happens when they do not take it easy.

lay off the roids. ;)

Lol if you ever saw me...you would definitely not be saying that.

5'8" about 140lbs

my old roomate was 5'8 140ish and he could bench 225 so ya never know. but I see your point. :)

Most I've ever benched was about 175. I miss the gym. Can't wait till all this bureautic crap finishes and I can use the company gym.

rich needs to ease off on the lifting.

I had some bits that looked exactly the same as yours and I was drilling of a screw on my probe and the thing snapped like a pretzal. Bad thing was that I used a half dead cordless drill and I got them from Home Depot just because I never had titanium bits. I'm thinking strong but I'll stick to my regular iron\aluminum bits.

Got these from Depot too...but they're Bosch :confused:

Craftsman next time....

cheap bits FTL.

:)

shoulda got craftsman the first time, if you break them, supposedly you can just take them back to (sears) and get them replaced for free.

It's only titanium coating, and you really don't need it for what you were doing.
HSS ( high speed steel ) would be fine. That's a fairly long bit, the shorter the better, unless it has to be that long. Another tip, start with a small pilot hole and work up to a bigger size, takes a little longer, but less problems.
Worked 8 years in a machine shop. I've broken more drill bits than I can remember :) and the boss was never too happy when I had to inform him that the $80 bit we just installed chipped and needed to be replaced.

Are those bits made for removing stripped screws/bolts? The ones I used were specific for removing stripped screws/bolts and are used in a reverse direction on the drill. Worked wonderfully. From the pic, it looks like those are "standard" direction drill bits.

Yea they're standard. I just wanted to open the hole. And I dont own a tap/die set.

He can't even use a bit without breaking it, you gonna trust him with your car? :rolleyes: haha funny stuff.

lol...if he's good enough to be don jr. he's good enough I think =)
He did my whole car stereo wise....everything works and sounds great....so far. J/k nilesh!!! it's almost june...time for the trunk!
