I know that this is on the edge of being car related But with the storm some had in the last few days & we are getting today and tomorrow and..............

I thought I would share a some ideas I came up with.

OK here are a couple things I have found not new but may have gone by wayside in our thought process.

(1) While Drilling I ran out of cutting Oil , so trip to lees sewing room Borrowed / stoled her 3 in 1 oil
I was surprised how well it worked.
I think it cut better then the cutting oil.
I have yet to do a temp check of the bit to see if one or the other helps to
keep the drill running cooler need to get more cutting oil 1st

( 2 ) using 2" soft sanding disks Blue / Red / gray in color ( you know the ones)
I needed to get into some small spots I went to NAPA to see if they had any 1" disks No such animal ~ Back at garage I looked at how many used 2" disk were in the trash then ~ it hit me. Those disks are only worn on the outside edge.~SO ~
While I was taking a break for my back I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut around the plastic backing VWALA { spelling} I had a whole drawer of 1" sanding disks.

Is there any other Helpful Shop / Flathead hints out there ???
