    Neither...the glass is twice the size it needs to be.

    Some had mentioned a magnetic drill before. Using one yesterday and took a pic. As you can see, you can clamp it on even a small bit of metal to drill it.

    Never used a chuck on my one, are they up to the job. Have 12mm broach cutter so never really need to use drill bits anyway

    Only saw this now. Ya chuck is fine. Only a hand tighten one, mind ya. Do you have to be carefull on the down pressure. I was using it on holes I was tapping (M10 & M12) so I needed to keep holes drilled square.

    I built a new roadway out of silage ground and digger man left one stone (sharp yoke) higher than rest.. he failed to shift it but over time the rest of the road has settled so its got higher and only a matter of time before silage man catches a bale or two on it! cutting silage sunday so I tackled it this evening...

    bucket of coal, firelighter, logs and turf and let it burn for 1-2 hours, set it in the rain too!!

    Done my regular herding, moving elect fences etc and when I came back stone was pure red... scraped off red coals/turf etc and let it have the barrel of water and it went to absolute pieces with a few blows of the 14lb sledge.. delighted with myself... no need for a rockbreaker here:D

    :P say 2 ft square but only jagged edge of bigger sheet of rock beneath but I broke it down say 6" below surface of roadway so it wont trouble me again.. say my dad do one years ago and the cold water seems to be the key

    In the winter I've three more planned now in silage ground now that I know it can be done!!

    Ah that'd be far too high tech and easy ... I'm still not sure tho as kango would still earn it with these rocks as no vein in them at all ... Solid tops of bigger stone beneath ...

    I spent about an hour hopping off the top of a stone like that one time and didnt break off enough to fill an egg cup . Its amazing how hard they can be!
    I left it alone after that and we're driving over it still

    Got rid of a similar rock sticking out into the side of a sunken laneway, digger would only scratch it, sledge would only hop off it. Hired a con saw with a diamond blade, and still had to cut it into squares about 4 inches square and use sledge and cold chisel .broke out into pieces as sharp as razor blades. Seriously hard rock.

    Nice blue stone was it? My uncle used the fire tactic to good effect, particularly in drains during a dry spell where a rock would back up the flow. Thinking about it now I must get a few bags of coal I have a couple of contenders for that!

    Come back heatwave, all is forgiven!

    This is just some basic engineering, its a stand to stop the vacuum pipe pulling on the cone when sucking up slurry. Without it the cone and the rubber from the tanker pipe can break it seal.
