Re: [Chrysler300] Fw: Tools explained

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In our shop we find when you hold your part by hand, the drill press can 
also be used as a finger tip warmer - although it heats the part a 
little more slowly than a grinding wheel.  And it certainly is a whole 
lot quicker than taking the time to clamp the part down.

A word of caution though would be that if you want to keep from warming 
your finger tips by wearing a glove, you should hold the part with your 
left hand.  Then the clockwise rotation of the drill bit, when it 
violently grabs your glove, will wrap your hand around it in its natural 
curvature rather than backwards against your finger joints.  This is 
something we have experimented with in our shop.
