You want to know all about photo encaustic. You love photography and want to put more of yourself into your work. You want to have fun exploring your images while being more hands-on. I love that too. That is what drew me to photo encaustic. That and the way the light pulls me into the image.
I would like to know why 118 degrees made the standard tip angle for a drill bit.Or for that matter, 135 degrees? 1. Is there anything called standard tip angle? 2. What factors determine the choice of the tip angle? P.S: I posted the same question in Aerospace forum : http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=347077
Choosing the Bit: For either 12 or 14 gauge wire, a 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch spade or auger bit mounted on a drill provides a good amount of space to pull the wire through. Larger holes compromise the structural integrity of the stud. Smaller holes make it difficult to pull the wire. Where To Bore: The hole needs to be at least 1-1/4 inches from the front edge of the stud to meet code requirements and to prevent accidental contact when the drywall goes up. There are no rules regarding how high you place the hole and wiring.
