Drilling Holes larger aspect ratio (thicker) use cutting fluid b/c chips have harder time clearing the drill keeps chips cool and lubricates them so they slide out of hole. chatter caused by drill jumping around hole: running drill too fast. may need to change transmission ratio for diff sized bits if there is chatter that speed change will not fix. if levers don't shift, something needs to turn, either motor or spindle. step-up drill size. sensitive chuck for hand feeding very small bits. very cool.
Special Drills for Plastics and Hard or Abrasive Materials softer materials: high helix angle of normal bit will dig down and possibly pull part up out of device when used with some materials ie. plastics lower helix angle will scrape rather than cut allows safe drilling of materials that may tend to be lifted up hard materials: steel, ciruit boards (fiberglass) use tunsgton carbide drill.
Drill Press Limitations chatter when used as milling machine.. irregularities. lack of stiffness cannot handle the load of an arbor press (sp??)
Bandsaw cut down larger peices of stock to near net size of part you want to make narrow blade makes it possible to cut curves. 3 teeth always in contact with part.. otherwise risk damaging blade noise of using a coarse blade can be danger to those in shop.
Suitable Speeds, Feeds and Materials
Bandsaw Setup proper handling & blade guard guidance. 10:52 posture, stand squarely, hands firm on bed of machine. safe handling & proper hand placement. until 10:54
Using the Drill Press Vise round stock. use vice to avoid getting cut by spinning part

Basic 3 Belt Sander move part back & forth to eliminate hot spots holding part properly will keep fingers from getting sucked into machine along with part.
Good Practice . Clean Up dust: toxic dusts: 3:36 vacuum attached: fine particles. large particles sit and get swept up. wear dust mask.
Small Belt Sander Configurations sand surfaces in notches & grooves
Grinder Operations and Materials making different tools for specialized purposes. types of application: review never grind aluminum: aluminum becomes embedded in stone and stick, therefore no aluminum smearing aluminum on aluminum, no grinding going on dress wheel to remove aluminum: dresser has star wheels softer steel than stone teeth pounds on wheel and breaks up aluminum and cleans up stone
Deburring and Buffing supposed to be guards to protect you (3:51) in this case you could get caught. hah! he demonstrated what happens when you improperly handle w/o guard also applies to buffing wheel (esp with furry finish of wheel can easily pull it out of your hands)
Finishing Techniques cloth buffing wheel: turn on wheel, press abrasive (mixed with wax) stick onto wheel. then you can start buffing
