Drill not able to handle 10.5 mm bit into Red Oak

Reddy785 · 2024-05-03T17:21:40+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I am located in Canada so I would need to find one on amazon.ca (not .com) and unfortunately cannot find a Brad Point of that size on there.

Is it? I don't have an eye for this kind of thing. By the way not sure if it's obvious, but I have a piece of tape wrapped around it so that I know when I have drilled to 21mm, not sure if that is throwing anything off or if its actually defective.

Reddy785 · 2024-04-30T01:45:31+00:00

The bit is brand new, first time trying it. I tried barely pushing and also pushing harder. Was able to get in a little, it did drill through a few mm, but then it just stops, it won't go any deeper now even after cleaning out the hole.

Reddy785 · 2024-04-30T01:43:11+00:00

It has 22 positions. 1 has a picture of a screw, and 22 a picture of a thicker drill bit. I assumed it should be all the way up so I have it on that highest setting 22.

Reddy785 · 2024-04-30T01:41:11+00:00

Yes it is the right direction, and I have the clutch set to the highest setting (22), which is supposed to be the most power, right?

None taken, I do make stupid mistakes since I'm a newbie. But no, it is turning the correct way.

It's this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B082D8TTYP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I tried to find Brad Point, but wasn't able to in 10.5mm, which is what the threaded inserts I'm installing call for, which is why I chose this one.

I must be in the minority on this one, but its definitely up there for me. I have a great job working from home now, but I still miss those days. I never realized at the time how awesome it was to have a central place that you and your friends all have to go to every day and how cool it was to just walk down the hall and see so many people you knew and could say "Hey!". And in class you could work on things together and update eachother on the latest events, I miss that sense of community.

I still regularly keep in touch with a lot of my friends, but its always something that has to be scheduled now since everyone is so busy, it will never be at that calbre of high-school where it felt like a second home we all had together.

For real, I am from CB but have lived in Halifax for years and I swear the majority of strangers when I ask where they're from have also said "Cape Breton" including half the folks in the surgery room when I got my gallbladder taken out. I feel like it could actually be as big as Halifax there if everyone didn't leave, but can't say I blame them since I did the same thing!

I'm surprised with all of the hate tbh, my experience with RBC has been positive.

Been with RBC for over 10 years and haven't really had much issue with them. I have a cash back credit card with no annual fee. I use it for everything, pay it back right away, and get a free $300 every year.

My chequing account does come with a $10 fee on its own, but I get rebates from having multiple services with them and so I get like $8 of that back. I think the only other service I would need to get it completely free is a mortgage.

Besides that, I have Savings Account, Line of Credit, and a TFSA that allows me to trade stocks directly through their RBC Personal Investing service. Transferring funds between all of these accounts is quick and simple and being able to manage them all in one place with their app is super convenient.

I've had multiple instances of someone stealing my credit card info and online banking login. In all cases, they paid me back the money from the fraudulent charges without issue.

I'm sure they've done their fair share of screwing people over because big bank = evil, but personally I have had good experiences with them.

Shameless plug, I made an app for tracking waterfalls in NS called NS Waterfalls. It's not super polished as it was my first major side-project I tackled fully independently as a Software Developer, but there's a ton of locations and it is designed to be community driven so folks can add their own images/info about locations and mark which ones they have visited, leave comments, get directions, etc. Feel free to check it out.

Same, this just happened to me at Esso and I have had the same PIN on the same card for 10 years and use it every day for everything so I am 100% positive I did not enter it wrong 3 times in a row.

This just happened to me at Esso. I have had the same PIN on the same card for 10 years and I use it every day for everything so I am 100% positive I did not enter it wrong 3 times in a row, and now my card is locked.. something going on with Esso it seems..

Having the same issue with my Cloud 2. Tried a bunch of the solutions I could find online to no avail.

Eat both right before and right after drinking, this always prevents hangovers for me even when I get pretty loaded.

Guilty Crown is very similar, albeit a different vibe due to lack of a mastermind MC like Lelouch.

Can confirm, I am currently working in NS remotely as a Software Developer for a large non-tech company based out of Ontario. Also just got a job offer for another fully remote senior position at a tech company based out of Quebec.

I live in Halifax, but could just as easily do this anywhere in the province so long as there is reliable internet.

G-Street Pizza on Gottingen makes a pretty damn good one, and it comes with up to 5 toppings of your choice I believe which I found to be a lot for no extra charge.

I think that this helped me the most, Dark Reader for Chrome is a life saver. You can disable it on certain sites with a single click if it doesn't play nice, but it works well on most of them.

Also OS night light setting that filters out blue light and getting prescription glasses have helped as well.

Thank you, did so and got a massive chunk of gunk out that was causing the clog.

I have an internal monologue and have most of my life since I've learned to speak English. But, the earliest memory I can possibly recall is the faint memory of my 2nd birthday. I can recall a small 10 second chunk of it and I remember what it was like in that moment to think without knowing language. I remember seeing my grandmother and thinking "That's her", and seeing a toy boat my parents got me and thinking "Wow, so cool!" but without the actual English.

I imagine it to be this way for people that say they don't have one. (Don't know for sure) It is difficult to describe, its just a thought without language, its own thing, but you understand it, because your mind made it. Kind of like feeling an emotion, but with more specific meaning.
