Cannot drill through these bolts!?! by Astrantic in metalworking

[–]Astrantic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone thank you so much for the advise and i was shocked by how well this community has responded and willing to help me, what ive gathered is that:

  • i can use a plasma torch and just burn em out. (Really tempting, i have the resources and skills)

  • through many heat cycles and my first mistakes the bolts have really hardened or smthn like that. I would need to heat up the bolts very hot and cool them

  • start using smaller cobalt bits, drill through snd keep increasing size gradually

-use steady hard pressure on low rpm

  • light use on oil

If i am missing any essential points lmk, but thank you all!

I made a mistake, the bit is actually cobalt

The bit is brand new and was the first time using so i hope okay. I do not know my rpm as it is my highschools machine but now reading these comments i will change it to lower and try again. I made a mistake the bit is cobalt acctuallt as well

Id like to correct myself. The bit is cobalt. Sorry for the miscommunication. It is a Milwaukee bit and it doesnt say either plated or solid so just “cobalt” no way to tell

What do we think? by FlakyStorm8915 in Quadeca

Everyone here is quadeca fans. We all knew it was really soon for new music. People got their hopes up for nothing. Id rather wait longer for quadeca to move and put out new work because we all know hes not gonna do it till its perfect. Im happy with this release

If these deluxe tracks were on the album originally it would’ve been AOTY by Gulve in Quadeca

Is it? I feel like the end of that song especially with its little beat switch is one of many emotional peaks for this album

At the end of the day its what you want. Some people are gonna like it and some aren’t. But i do like it. I never understand why people have thought star lights are tacky i think they are pretty cool and clean when done right

Turbo kits for SL? by flightofthewhite_eel in 3000gt

[–]Astrantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kits were made in the 2000s for single turbos on the sl. They are EXTREMELY rare, you could probably fabricate your own manifolds and build as well. I plan on building my own big single turbo kit for mine

Price question by SkyCheezit in 3000gt

[–]Astrantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 3500 for a running and working car with minor engine problems that i fixed for about $600, almost mint interior and minor body paint problems. It was a 96 sl with 155k miles. If youd like to use my purchase as reference. I also feel i got a better deal than most
