    Annular cutter in Mill

    yes they would last much longer and drill much quicker than a twist drill, just dont overspeed the bits and use coolant and you should easily get 100+ holes before they start dulling

    Pressure washer recommendations.

    the real question is how much are you looking to spend, most of those cheap electric pressure washers arent much better than a hose building one will net you a much better pressure washer for the money, thats the way i went with the current one i have, thats what i would do for my next one

    Annular cutter in Mill

    i buy lots of the accusize annular cutters, i imagine they are probably the same Chinese cutters that vevor sells, i have no complaints, i get plenty of life out of them for the price i do have a whole drawer full of dull cutters (some domestic ($$), some Chinese), one of these days i will...

    Annular cutter in Mill

    i also do it often in a standard collet when the mag drill just wont work, heck my mag drill only pops out the slug like 60% of the time anyhow so its not much different LOL

    Getting back into RC flying (maybe)

    I've never once said anything about flying above 400 agl, I have no problems staying below that altitude, you are the one obsessed with flying above 400' If you stay below 1200 you are in g airspace everywhere other than aerodromes at which point it becomes a land access/bylaw issue, 400' is...

    Getting back into RC flying (maybe)

    I'm not sure you have a good understanding of airspace, g airspace is just about everywhere in Canada (with regards to the elevations flown for rc), the problem becomes land access and municipal by laws, not airspace, so much private land, and yes much crown land, in Alberta, are designated...

    Getting back into RC flying (maybe)

    Yea that's about the same for me without any major leg work for permissions and such You just have to make a day of it, take a couple battery packs, a tailgate bbq for lunch, etc I go out to one of the pluz's, little bit of light 4x4 ing, fly the rc for a bit, eat lunch, etc

    Getting back into RC flying (maybe)

    @PeterT Any of the pluz's in Alberta are fair game, they are crown land, just have to watch in fire fighting season, I think some R's pop up, bc has quite a bit more crown land that is not parks, but like David mentioned much of it is tree'd mountain terrain @DavidR8 I would join a few of the...

    Getting back into RC flying (maybe)

    Yea then controlled airspace, I wouldn't even bother, find some place not near an airport, that's a headache and a half I don't know that you can get a flight authorization in controlled with a "drone" that's not on the advanced list anyhow, you would want to look into that if you were going to...

    Getting back into RC flying (maybe)

    I would say thanks but no thanks to that field if that's the case. Advanced rpas license is going to cost more than a few dollars, honestly sounds like gate keeping to me unless there is some kind of legitimate reason for needing an advanced license in that location

    Getting back into RC flying (maybe)

    Iirc advanced rpas only applies to certain commercially sold drones, I don't know that you can fly above 400' with an advanced rpas license and a "drone" not on the list I have the basic rpas license, iirc the main stipulation is class g, class g is everywhere really, everything below 1200' and...
