    In aviation, air drills are still extremely common. Battery drills are great, but as long as your compressor is functioning, you never have to stop while drilling rivet holes or chain drilling to make a tricky cut.

    My dad needed to remove an old cast iron bath tub that was on a second floor. He chain drilled it all the way around and hit it with a sledge hammer to have it break along the drilled line. Worked like a charm.

    How about pre-drilling pilot holes with a smaller bit, wouldn't that help staying on target?

    Two men come and disagree to agreeBoth one to the other saying what should beEach climbing higher up self righteous towersAnd catapulting "shoulds" back and forth just empowers themDon't get me wrong i'm the king of itJust a little bit hippy hypocrite winging itSometimes thinking that i'm knowing everything of itAnd putting my should inside a song and singing itShould as it should maybe sounds absurdBut should could be heard almost every other wordWhen you should on your friends it's bad for the healthBut you got to be careful not to should on yourselfThese Towers of Babel all inevitably fallWith cracks in the walls and the building implodesFrom the wreckage and rubble we rebuild another bubbleCause that's the way the monkey mind goesWith a "should do this!" and a "should do that!"Everybody's just trying to do goodBut how many shoulds would a good man sayIf he could stop would he stop shouldsOh my friend for the wounds to mendThere's only one thing we should doDon't you should on me and i won't drop my shoulds on youFrequencies unfold in our numskullsLike a spark in a dark caveWhere the light and sound wavesPave a way to mental higher groundAll the little thoughts we collectTurned them into bricks with our intellectBuild a tower in your hypothalamus and cortexOur own fortress in our cerebellumWe can carry our convictions to the roof and yell 'emAt the top of our lungs standing on the top rung"Don't Should On Me" – Wookiefoot

    You must need more practise with the programming – henceforth, remove sticker on the Mills Toolhead until you are more competent 🙂

    Couldn't find a longer drill? You wouldn't get through as many pages in your girly mags but less z per peck and more load per flute will speed that up exponentially
