Re: [pinhole-discussion] #80 drill bit
- Original Message - From: Traci Bunkers bonk...@bonkersfiber.com I also have a dremel with a flexshaft. I wondered about it, but thought it would pose the same issues as the drill. I thought about layering a bunch of pieces from aluminum cans and drilling through them all at once. Has anyone tried this? I guess there's only one way to find out if it will work! Unless you have a way to clamp/compress securely all the layers, the drill bit would likely brake. What you need is a drill press like this one: http://www.dremel.com/html/products/toolsacc_fr.html , I got one and although I don't use it to make my pinholes, I have used it and works beautifully for that purpose.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] #80 drill bit
Oh, I have a bunch of exacto knives and didn't even think about using that as a holder. Thanks! Wow, your site is very informative! That must have taken a long time. I like your pinhole shots. I got a bunch of altoid tins film cans ready to shoot with yesterday. But by the time I got the pinholes taped on and the film loaded in all of them, the sun was going down. Maybe today. . . .? -- Traci Bunkers Bonkers Handmade Originals http://www.bonkersfiber.com From: Ray Beckett r...@pinholephotography.com.au Organization: www.pinholephotography.com.au Reply-To: pinhole-discussion@p at ???

[pinhole-discussion] #80 drill bit
Hi Traci I use a Dremel tool flexshaft and I have no problems with tightening it down on a #80 bit. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the little guy straight, though! Rosanne Okay, so I ran out and got a #80 drill bit to try. Are you all putting these in your drill? Thanks! Traci Bunkers
[pinhole-discussion] #80 drill bit question
Okay, so I ran out and got a #80 drill bit to try. Are you all putting these in your drill? I'm worried I'll break it when I tighten the chuck. Plus, I can't seem to get it in straight, which would make a bigger pinhole. Or are you sticking this in an eraser like the old fashion way? Thanks! Traci Bunkers
