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
The whole of the drill bit, shaft and shank, is usually of the same diameter. It is held usually in a 3-jaw drill chuck. Bits of diameter too small to grip firmly can have straight shanks of larger diameter than the drill, which can be held firmly in a standard size collet or chuck.
