I see some videos say to use a drill bit the same size as the lag bolt without the thread part. So, in Australia, bunnings if i have an m10 bolt (which i think means 10mm), i would use a drill bit for pre drilling around 7.5mm to 8mm. So, for drilling into a wall stud, which should be soft wood, should i use a half drill size (5mm) or closer to the bolt shaft diameter 8mm? Hope this all makes sense.
Anchors are spinning inside concrete (admittedly crumbly low quality), even after expansion using tap tool. Design wise the outside of the drop in is too smooth. Make a version with pimples or tiny steel pyramids to prevent hole spin. Please.
What parts would be needed to drill a 3" hole through 2 layers of bricks? For putting in cable and network cables, I've had to use a very long drill bit with the blades on the ends (hammer drill). it turns out, that there's a layer of brick, an air space then the outside layer of bricks. The whole travel is something like 11" to 15" (I forget right now which it is). But I'm contemplating getting a 2 zone DIY Mini Split and I'd have to drill 2, 3" holes, one for each unit. But around where I am, I haven't really seen some kind of hole saw that can do this particular job. What would be needed that would work with my 3/2 chuck hammer drill?
For the pilot hole, does the bit for that pilot hole needs to be diamond tip or carbide tip? Can I just use the pilot bit that comes with the core bit?
An amazing product! They secured two floating shelves where other plasterboard fixings had failed, leaving unsightly holes behind. I found this demo on RU-vid, drilled 12mm holes through my original unsightly holes and gently tapped the Timco fixing into the plasterboard, finally screwing the bolt into the fixing and hand tightening with Torx-driver. Beware not to overtighten though.
Put the mic closer to the talent, loudness normalise the audio (to spec) and remove or notch the background music (just remove it, it's lowering the production quality, not adding).
Be carefull not to fart or sneeze too close to PVC corrugated sheets because they will shatter, especially in cold weather. How the manufacturers get away with selling this rubblish is beyond me.
Any advice on fixing to tube steel purlins? Fixing through the tube has the risk of allowing water to leak and pool in the tube and lead to accelerated rust.
Important to mention NOT over compressing the washer otherwise the squashed edge gets exposed to the sun and will prematurely split which will result in water getting behind it causing leaks.
Wish I knew about these,I need to drill 1 6.5mm hole and was sent the wrong drill bit, it's for metal,if I drill a pilot first will it be ok on a slow speed, I'm worried about bursting through the other side of the door frame and damaging, thanks in advance, ignore the stupid comments btw, you taught me that there's a multi purpose drill bit & gives me hope that I can use a metal drill on wood for 1 hole 👍
Hi I’m new to building and we’ve built a shed. We’re planning on going for corrugated sheets. Looking at your comment I’m assuming we would have to screw through the peak of the sheet?
Great video thanks. What coach screws should I use if I want to attach a 6x2 to a 4x4 post? Not really sure how big or how long the coach screw should be.
I was sold a load of these by a hardware shop to mount a floating shelf. I made an absolute mess of the wall trying to get 2 of them in before switching to gold old fashioned plastic rawl plugs. I still have the packet of metal plugs here that i was thinking of using to mount two decorative hearts onto the wall so wanted to see what i was doing wrong when i tried to get mine into the plasterboard. Now i see in this very video the screw that they then put into the plug isnt even tightening in, so i think i'll give them a swerve and buy some real rawl plugs and wait for them to come.
