Crafting Holes Using Glasswork Drilling Jig

By Catherine Burns


Building materials are used in different proportions to make unique products that are fetching good money on the market. The creativity has extended and led to beautiful inventions of glorious artifacts that are very expensive. The growing tool industry enables the idea. The following is a procedure for crafting holes using glasswork drilling jig aimed at making glasses reuse and up cycle.

There are various kinds of glass crystals in existence in the present times. They differ in thickness, durability strength depending on the purpose they are made for. The main factor considered when trying to hole these surfaces is the size of penetrations aimed at. This will dictate the tools to be used. Preferable bits and ball burrs made of diamond are recommended for the task.

The procedure will entail some steps and use of particular tools. These are the equipment and support things that will ensure you can perform some good job. They include the burrs and the bits. These two are going to facilitate the process of digging the glass. The ball burr will be used to make a divot on the surface of solid to prevent the digging tool from skidding across.

Others are a tray or a plan. This is a flat surfaced pan like container aimed at holding the liquid to be used as lubrication during the boring process. It will hold the object being worked on as well as the fluid chosen for the task. A wooden board is needed to help in preventing one from accidentally penetrating through the bottom of pan or tray.

Directions for the process are as follows. The first step is to put the object to be worked on in the tray or pan. Fill the pan with water or any recommended fluid for the just to the point where it covers the object. Place a wooden board or Styrofoam material at the bottom of the pan to prevent you from boring its bottom.

The object is first dug with a ball burr to make a divot that would be holding the drill tool end. Then go on to switch the burr with a bit of similar diameter. Important to note is that the bit should not be twisted. Equally, it should be of the right diameter. In case you want to drill big holes, make small ones first then go on to use the next bigger bits and burr to you get to your desire.

As you bore, ensure that you are keeping the tip of the drill wet all through. Keep replacing the water with a clean one when continuing with the task. In case you have running water, then make sure it runs continuously throughout to remove particles dug from the surface.

Ideally, make a move to ensure that you are digging slowly at a slower pace. Apply a little pressure and keep on accelerating when you determine the boring is more smooth and comfortable. Speedy working will wear the tips fast and thus lowers service span.
