Tim I used to drill a lot of delrin at my last job and i don,t miss the stuff one bit. We also had a lot of problems with speed/feed. I ended up going with Iscars chamdrill jet with a IDN grade insert. from memory we were running a 10mm drill at 180M/Min ,0.25 -0.6MM. I,ve never tryed them on copper so i,m not sure how they would go. Darren

Frank i was lucky that when i started my trade and went to school, Aussie,s (roy23. ) were still getting used to metric but still teaching in inch. My first place of employment was a U.K. owned company. So all the drawing,s coming over were in inch. The biggest problem i had over the years were the operators converting tolerences for their offsets. The amount of stuff ups and scrapped parts over the years was beyond a joke. If your tools are inch, programme in inch. If your measuring equipment is inch, i could not understand why your boss would be asking you to change in the first place The "just do it" attitude sucks. Lee.k White is on the right track.Document your conversation with him and look at it as a learning curve.If it goe,s the way that everyone here is saying,you will have something to fall back on. But with the sound of his attitude. He has already made up his mind Good luck Mate Darren

Good morning everybody I worked at a Chain and Gearbox company for 16 years. We supplied a lot of the Mines and also a lot of sugercane chains(Begasse Chains).We made chains for go,carts all the way up to 21.0" pitch chain for B.H.P. which they used for throwing the billets into the rollers. We also made the hyd. units for the Telescopic light towers at Adelaide oval. I have been working here at Confoil for the last 2 years machining and assembling the press tools to punch out our Aluminium containers. If your have ever flown with Quantas Airlines you have Eaten out of one of our containers. We also make the McDonalds muffin wraps, The little gold cat and dog food containers used by Sheba and Uncle Bens. And most of the foil containers used in Aus. Another part of our company is Dualpak containers. These are a cardboard container which are microwave and oven proof. confoil
