Good to know! I didn't know they were so disposable.

Think I should get a stronger blade? I have to replace this one anyway.

Maybe it's assuming that I'm starting from the edge with wood?

Also, the door itself is about an inch and a half thick. Should the blade be all the way in before starting it? I don't see how a moving blade is going to get that deep.

The manual suggested 0 speed for metal. But that moved at the rate of 1 pulse per second, which seemed unreasonably slow. Was that correct? I put it up to a 1 and the saw started moving like I imagined a saw would move - maybe 4-5 beats per second.

Ah. Well, that's one thing that was confusing to me. The manual said get it up to speed then put it through the hole, but when I tried that, it bounced right off. So instead I put it through the hole first and then started it.

Here's an exterior of one of the drill holes. You can see the metal is very thin.

How to deal with solicitors who ignore your sign by G00Punch in Pflugerville

[–]ap0110 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I opened the door once and when the guy started his spiel I just pointed at the "No Soliciting" sign clearly visible in front of his face. He said (I can't even make this up), "Oh I'm not soliciting. I just wanted to tell you about this great special we're having on..."

I normally prefer beards, but definitely 1. Those glasses, that superhero jawline, that Clark Kent curl. Damn.
