Episode Details

Daniel's got a drawer full of tapered hex bits and reduced shank adapters, and he's wondering why his precision holes keep going oval. This episode breaks down the physics of drill bit footprints—why the quarter-inch hex system is a screwdriving standard borrowed for drilling, and where it fails. We cover runout, stress risers, and why a twelve-volt drill with a half-inch bit is a wrist injury waiting to happen. If you've ever snapped a tiny bit or stalled a driver on a big hole, this one's for you. Episode #060451 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/060451
