all right my name is Jerry and I'm gonna
give a quick demonstration on how to
drill a hole in a rock using a driving
diamond drill bit what I'm going to be
using is this old craftsman drill here
and we got these different drill bits
diamond drill bits but if I were just to
try and mount these in my drill and try
to drill a hole through a rock all these
diamonds on the end here would wear off
and it wouldn't cut and it would burn up
right away so you have to use water when
you're using these things and you have
to allow the diamond to do the cutting
so you don't get too much of a buildup
and heat so the way I get water onto
this thing is I use a lid to a jar and
this one has some polishing compound in
it that's why it's green but I put this
under my drill let's set this up now
there hopefully that's right it up whoo
you see what's going on I guess how to
plug this thing in all right so I think
I drew a bit I don't want to use no no
he's just right here how many use this
thing right here because I just want a
small hole for a past and making a piece
of jewelry so I put that into my drill
okay well I say how far it goes down I
wanted to come down far enough to hit
the plastic at the bottom you're gonna
add a little bit more but I don't want
to drill to the bottom of the plastic if
I don't have to so here we go all right
okay now I filled this with water take a
little bit of water and I pour it in
there okay I get my stone I don't think
that's gonna be deep enough I think we
need another I think I need another
container this one's not gonna be deep
enough here this one will work
this let's see the waters got to cover
the rock or it won't work
so here and a little water okay baby out
here I will loo this a little closer
okay yeah I already start a little notch
on this
allow it clean now Victor
each time I go down I'm going out about
another millimeter couple millimeters at
a time
Oh hurry maybe try to hurry this what
happens if heat builds up and the metal
that's holding his diamonds in place
melts away and you end up with the steel
just turning against the rock and it
doesn't actually cut anything gotta
allow the diamond to do the work okay
I'm gonna come in from the other side
[Laughter]
all right all the way through turn this
off and there you got it a nice clean
hole right on through this is a piece of
lepidolite which is silicate 'add so
it's a good start good luck bye
