Drilling out pop rivets

You don't need a drill sharpener. It is a bit late in the night to describe the method. But if I have not gat back to you within 24 hours. Feel free to poke the e mail address.

Only supersoft crappy alli.

Dave

If drilled or machined dry, ally tends to stick to any cutting tool. Applying a lttle parrafin occasionally, is usually all that's needed to stop it happening. Mike

Fancy posting your method here:

sounds like it could be useful for reference later.

I don't think mono's would be allowed on aeroplanes ;-)

I used them (in a past life) when I worked for a trailer manufacturer.

Well there's always the trick of milling the head off with a handheld router :-)

& ,for ally, a little washing up liquid works wonders.

Will it accept small photo's?

Dave

It will take quite large ones if you want. Use the upload file page for the photos:

Then you can drop them into your article with a simple reference in the text like:

[[Image:RCDSocket.jpg|Socket with built in RCD]]

The bit after the | is the name you want to appear in the alt image for the photo.

Just select any other article and click "edit" for an example of how to markup your text for special features etc (only don't same it unless you want to change it).

OK I'll give it a go later on, when I have some time to put it together.
