What engine?

Just to try and add some sensible advice in here, as i can't see that it has been mentioned before, but make sure you are using the slowest speed on your drill (if indeed it does have a speed setting)

And as mentioned above, make sure it's spinning the right way (clockwise)

I fear if you have just gone hell for leather at full speed with no cutting fluid, applying a shit load of pressure, you may have killed the drill bit, and only a re-sharpening will resurrect it

If i am doing a serious bit of drill into steel, i ensure i have a few of each size drill bit as it only takes the drill bit to get a bit too hot to locally soften it and blunt the cutting tip

This blokes drilling out a stud just like I have been selected by the commitee to represent the UK in the Eurovision
song contest. My track entitled, 'Where did I put my sock' got a unanimous vote.

If it is the exhaust stud on that Kymco, they are in fact 6mm and surprisingly replacements are advertised as hardened.

Great. Pompous is mad at me too now. Pompous why you mad bro? Don't be mad- fawt we was cool?

Mate that Kymco is long gone. You can find a funny post where a stolen vehicle recovery service asked me to pay 150 to dispose of it when I went to see it.- when the guy left to get the form for me to sign - I legged it!
I'm still in tears when I remember sprinting through the greenery and mud past broken down cars everywhere as soon as he left with shoulder checks behind me every 5 secs like some victim in some horror movie.
They never got back in touch with me.

By the way what's the exact address of the BBQ and the time? I'll pretend to be another user so you'll know Arcane is secretly in the midst but won't be exactly sure who.

Haha! i'm not mad, far from it. Just bored of the constant barrage of good advice and tips that you seem, at least at first, to ignore whilst asking similar questions over and over.

Google is your friend. I often wonder how people coped without t'interweb. Its one of the reasons i am in awe at the old school engineers who built trains/heavy machinery and the like. No google to quickly cross reference part numbers etc. Problems got solved by thinking them through and trial and error.

Skip forward a few years and, despite the entire internet as your resource as well as the assistance of many, we have someone like you whose failed to grasp simple concepts, even down to simply realising that some people on this forum with years of exp working with bikes are offering solutions to problems you are creating.

I've marked some of your posts as SPAM. Because that's what they are IMO.


and no, i don't know it all. I didn't have a father to teach me about bikes/cars or mechanical principles. I learned by thinking something through and when not sure, i turned to the wonderful resource we know as the internet.

I can't believe there is a 6 page thread because a guy doesn't know how to drill a hole in a stud. Christ

A couple of threads were entertaining, but this is getting a bit tiresome.

[dydey90]

1. Fuck me I didn't know you could spend that much on drill bits

2. I have drilled through lots of 316 stainless steel with cobalt drills. They're better than HSS in every way.

3. Have you centre punched?

4. Have you?

5. What did you use for a centre punch and did you hit it properly? If you don't leave a nice big dent then the drill has no material to start off with.

6. Please post a picture of the stud. Nobody cares what engine it is, blur out the irrelevant parts if you need to but there may be something stopping you that's obvious to somebody more experienced, but not to you.

7. List to Pete, he's been there done it, got the T-shirt, worn the T-shirt, worn out the T-shirt and now uses the T-shirt as a fishing net.
