Time and again one would want to reuse some materials for various needs. It could also be in an attempt to try and combine various them to come up with a unique product. An example of such material is a lead crystal. The discussion below explains the process of making holes using glasswork drilling jig, a tool used to make penetrations in a glass that allows boring.
To begin with is to have an understanding that there are various types of glasses in the market today. Some easily allow penetration while others cannot allow any penetration without breaking. They differ in thickness and quality. Some factors determine the kind of tool to be used among them being the size of holes intended. These coupled with the quality of material will lead to the choice of drilling bit.
The procedure will entail some steps and use of particular tools. These are the equipment and support things that will ensure you can perform some good job. They include the burrs and the bits. These two are going to facilitate the process of digging the glass. The ball burr will be used to make a divot on the surface of solid to prevent the digging tool from skidding across.
Others are a tray or a plan. This is a flat surfaced pan like container aimed at holding the liquid to be used as lubrication during the boring process. It will hold the object being worked on as well as the fluid chosen for the task. A wooden board is needed to help in preventing one from accidentally penetrating through the bottom of pan or tray.
The procedure for undertaking the process is not a difficult one. You need to first place the object into the tray or pan. Then fill with suitable lubricant preferably water. Make sure you fill to slightly above the said object. Do not forget to put the wooden board discussed above before embarking on the real working.
Then use the ball burr to have a divot on the surface of an object. Go on to switch the burr with a bit. Make sure the bit is not twisted, and it is in good condition. Ensure that it matches the size of shacks to be made. In case you want to make bigger holes, use smaller bits to make some and then use a big ball burr and bits to enlarge them.
As you bore, ensure that you are keeping the tip of the drill wet all through. Keep replacing the water with a clean one when continuing with the task. In case you have running water, then make sure it runs continuously throughout to remove particles dug from the surface.
It is advisable to bore at a slower pace while applying a little pressure. Once the bit has a good grip, you can then accelerate but keep to the levels that you feel the operation is smooth and quite comfortable. Over speeding is not recommended as it contributes to wearing out of drill head.
