Do-It-101 Related Pages Welding Basics 101 Scrap Pile Tools 101 Before shortening a bolt thread a nut on to it, make your cut, file the edges, then remove the nut. When drilling large holes in steel start with a small bit and make a pilot hole. Install hacksaw blades with the teeth pointing away from the handle. The thinner the material the finer the blade. Ordinary lard makes a good cutting oil when cutting threads in mild steel. Use a centerpunch to place a dimple at the spot you wish to drill to prevent the bit from wandering. The set on a new hacksaw blade will be wider than a used blade, if you have to replace a blade part way through a cut start a new cut from the opposite side to meet the original cut. Store files wrapped in cloth or cardboard to prevent them from contacting each other and damaging the cutting edges. Cutting Oils Steel: sulfurized cutting oil or "soluble" oil. Cast Iron: drills dry Aluminum: mineral spirits or kerosene. Brass: drills dry. Copper: whole milk or light cream.
