Drill Design

1. Are there any good, free marching band drill design programs for download?

I've never found one, but that's just me. =/

2. What shape of shank is the chuck of a drill designed to hold?

Round although some drill bits ( larger ones) may have a flat surface on them as well.

3. Looking for the best drill to eliminate coming over the top.?

Lets get to the heart of why this happens. Speaking very generally, this move is setup by moves much earlier in the swing, or in the setup itself. Most slicers are set up pointing left of the target with too much weight on their left side, right hip and shoulder too high, and right hand too much on top of the club. They usually yank the clubhead too far inside with their hands on the takeaway and then lift their arms to the top. From there, there is no room to come down from the inside, so the only way to get back to the ball is by coming over the top. So if this is you....let's start at address. Line up parallel to your target line, and tilt your sternum or breastbone slightly behind the ball. Notice how doing this little tilt moves more weight too your right side, and lowers and relaxes your right hip and shoulder. Also moves your right hand grip off of the top of the club a little bit. Now from this set-up, you can take the club back by simply turning your shoulders. the club stays on line and you can feel resistance or torque building in your right leg. Finish your turn to the top and feel how much coil you have now. This makes the downswing a simple reflex, as the lower body unwinds toward the target first with the arms and shoulders following. All of these changes take place by making changes before the club ever moves! Good luck!!

4. How to drill into brick motar when drill bit will only go in 1/4?

There should not be rebar in the mortar joints of brick. Small rebar is 3/8, the mortar joints in brick are usually not much thicker. There may be some other metal reinforcement there, but it should be rather thin. Your drill may hesitate a bit, but should go right on through. You have a masonry bit, are you using the right drill? You should have a rotary hammer drill. A standard rotary drill will do the job, but you will have to pull it out to clean debris from the hole then go back in. It will be quite a bit slower than it would with a hammer drill. Is the bit in good condition? Have the carbide points broken off? Finally, are you sure the drill is turning the correct direction? Drilling backwards will make a dent, but not really do any major drilling. Probably will ruin the bit as well, so you may need a new one.

5. If you were going to design a hockey challenge for Pros vs. Joes, what would be the drill ...?

If they are going to do hockey challenges, they need to do real hockey challenges. 1) Suit up and face slap shots from Al McInnis. 2) Fighting with Bob Probert. 3) Come across the middle blindfolded against Scott Stevens. 4) Trash talking with Matthew Barnaby.

6. Where can I find free drawings or schematic drawings about radial drill machines?

Most radial drills machines are of simple design. Just a standard drill press that the head can move along a beam side to side as well as up and down. It really depends on how elaborate you want to get, but most of them only have the motor to rotate the spindle and manual movement of the head location. Servos can be applied to these movement if you desire. Depends on your pocketbook as well.

7. when congress make design on offshore drilling?

If Democrats retain their majority in Congress in 2008, we may still not be able to drill or have nuclear power plants built. Lunacy!

8. Is is safe to put a router bit in a drill press?

The speed issue would normally be a problem, but cutting white pine (extreemly soft wood) should be no problem with 3500 rpm, if you make several passes before your finishing pass you will also reduce the risk of blow-out. The saftey issue is what I would consider most. I would make sure that the chuck of the drill is cranked as tight as you can, and for every 1 minute that you are rinning it I would check for tightness. My experience (10 years in the industry) would recomend that if you can do it on a router table...do it.

9. I'm looking for a TV250 Master Mechanic 12V charger for a drill/driver, Will any 12V charger work?

You may also need to consider current (in Amperes) required.

10. Can you drill through glass or acrylic?

for glass you would need a diamond drill bit (at least available for dremel tools) and I think most of those drill bits are for wet use, which means you have to keep the drill hole wet. It's also really slow. Acrylic should be fairly straightforward to drill through. General purpose or mild steel drillbit should be fine. Only possible problem is with thick pieces, the heat generated from drilling can melt the acrylic. But if you need only to drill a short distance that's not a problem. Make sure you let the drill bit cool off in between.

11. In general, how much does it cost to drill a well? Either costs per gpm (performance) or per depth (design).?

depends on well type. one type uses a drill to actualy drill through the rock. another, percution, pounds its way through the rock. the drill type can do a whole well in a couple of hours. the other may take more than a day, but some say that pounding through the rock breaks up the aquifer better and gives you beter water flow... PS, sometimes it is good to tell the drill operator to go further down in the aquifer, when you get droughts, your nehbors(if they have shalower wells) may go dry while your well will keep going longer. this will cost more, but may give you beter supply of water in the years to come. it is an investment, remember, aquifers aint going to rise above your pump, but they may run shalower.

12. Is a Dremell type mini drill good for detailed for wood-engraving?

The dremel comes with an accessory kit that allows you to clamp the drill to a table and hold a long extension that turns the drill bit so you don't have to hold the hot vibrating drill as you do the detail work. It is included in the UP priced dremel set around $74 at WalMart. This drill model is a corded model. They have a cordless but I do not recommend it as it gives just enough charge for you to get comfy in the zone then requires HOURS to recharge. Craftsman makes a high speed mini drill but I do not know anything aboujt the prices. I got one at a yard sale for two dollars, works like a charm and it has a cord. Big Lots got a shipment of tools prior to Father's day and they offered a Nikota rotary drill kit for $24.99 with the flexible drive shaft and a gajillion drill bit, etc. I bought myself two of them on the grounds that as a single mom, I deserved it,they are grown now and I wanted it. I love it for the price and there is no difference in the quality. You may want to look and see if Nikota Automotive has a web site.

13. What kind of drill bit would I need to drill through the bottom of mason jars?

Best to use a cone shaped grind-stone. A drill might shatter the glass far too easily with the concentrated pressure that it needs. (Wear gloves goggles.)

14. Does anyone know a theme my daughter can use for a high school drill team. She is running for officer?

15. Does anyone know how to cut PVC pipe?

a couple of tools come to mind. A dremel, for small detail and cheap. A woodworking router, for larger detail, you could remove base for better visability A plastic laminating router, very small base A woodcarving attachment to a motor, this is a flexible shaft with a small chuck that holds a wide cutting tools and burs. found a picture [about half way down] at: http://www.thesculpturestudio.com/wood1.htm good luck and be safe.

16. What exactly is a Two Minute Drill in football?

It's when in the last two minutes of the first half or the last two minutes of the game you try to put together a drive as quickly as possible using as little time off the clock as possible. To do this you can go without huddling up to call a play(no huddle offense), you can also throw short passes (quick-outs) so the reciever can catch the ball and get out of bounds to stop the clock, you can also try to get the other team to jump offsides or commit some other kind of penalty, that will stop the clock and move the ball forward, You can also throw an incomplete pass if absolutely nessasary, you won't get any yards and you will lose a down, but you will stop the clock.Remember you only have three timeouts per half so if you still have three at the two minute warning use them wisely!

17. Simple problem about how to attach a shower radio to a moped!?!? Not a wiring problem! Just need design ideas!

yuo need to look this guy up, he's a expert at this sorta thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIWwKvKSQtw

18. I need to learn the basic Design Concept of Domestic Water Well Systems?

First of all you have asked a question that has a lot of variables indeed.. 1. type of pipe- rough ,fairly smooth,smooth 2. number of turns (90deg) 3. lift in head..the rise to final access point 4. psi wanted this is a function of flow through an orifice 5. gpm at access point at that psi 6. filtered or non-filtered 7. maximum load in hp to overcome load 8. does this system require and air bladder 9. distance from start to finish 10. valving and meters these ten subjects are just the top of the list for a good design I suggest you might go to Amazon and buy some hands on books which will help ,but when it comes to sizing get someone who can actually calculate the HP requirement and pitch and impeller size and then show you a pump curve where that pump will do what they say it will ..I have had good luck with Aurora Pumps for longevity,,I'm sure there are others like Gould and pacific..(or Paco pump)...get their catalogs and read the pump curve literature but like i said if that is confusing get a pro that is nomograph handy to do it for you...good luck on your project..from the E

19. How do Engeneers design products?

Engineering design is a complex process and requires lots of thinking do to be done before you actually come out with a product. Let me tell you about the design process in simple terms. You have three major areas in design: 1. Developing a totally new product. 2. Modifying a product that's existing already 3. Reverse Engineering, or developing a design from a product that already exist and doing further changes to the design. Developing a new product involves coming out with the solid model of the part using a good CAD tool like Pro-E, Unigraphics, or SolidWorks. We need to also choose the right CAD tool for your application. In the next stage you do the stress analysis on the part to see how the part behaves at different loading conditions. There is a technique or method called Finite Element Analysis(FEA) which is mainly used by major designers. We also have softwares for FEA to make things easier for us. In the next stage we develop prototype of the solid that we arrived at and the purpose of the prototype is to test how the part behaves under practical conditions. If the prototype is good, we proceed with the actual manufacturing of the part. After using a part for some time we get to know about the mofications that we can make on the part and this can be done only by market analysis of the part or the assembly which carries the part and it's performane at user's end. If your part isn't good, the customer will naturally go for your competitor's part which has a better design. Now you get back to your part model and modify it suitably. Reverse Engineering is one where you're starting to design a product that already exists. You get a part, study it's dimensions and come out with the design for the part. You further modify it to make it much more functional than the part that you started with and produce the part. I hope I'm clear with the basics of Product design. Engineering design is like an ocean and can never be explained in simple terms.

20. If Obama is against most offshore oil drilling, nuclear power and a better battery design for cars then.......

I think the tire gauge energy policy is the first policy that was clearly laid out, let's give the man some credit. It was concise and easily understood. And Nascar even confirmed it for him he says (though I don't know any Nascar drivers supporting him). Most of his policies just contain a lot of tortured language to confuse people because he's confused himself and needs a good out to change without being accused of flip flopping.
