Supposedly they are meant to have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree or experience in the work similar.<br /><br />Which is a great way of sponging off another country's training-programs.

Will give it a go with some scrap, though I'm picking that the safeties will just make it judder. They're not high-torque things.<br /><br />Have never seen a drill like the one you linked. Interesting.

I'd be curious to know the average job life of someone holding an H-1B visa is. I bet they're trained for only one gen, then let go immediately after new versions come out. Truly a throw away culture, in every sense of the word.Eduardo the Magnificentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395564333682113597.post-62730800870083380552016-01-08T05:16:52.614+13:002016-01-08T05:16:52.614+13:00Regarding power tools, they are good to use only w...Regarding power tools, they are good to use only when you don't forget to use your head as well. :) I use a handle operated drill stand to control the hole depth, if possible. If it's too difficult to maneuver the drilled part under it, then there is still the depth gauge in the drill handle as the safety measure (I know it doesn't help much if you drill diagonally to the surface). BPS, any electric drill that can be also used as a screwdriver allows low RPM drilling (preferably ones with a slider or wheel speed setting), so I fail to see the problem here.<br /><br />If you have bought a manual drill, why didn't you go for one like in the photo linked below?<br />http://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2011/10/schroeder-hand-drill-photo.jpg<br />I have one as a hand-me-down from my father and use it when too far from a socket to use a cord extension reel.Mindstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949097462978386911noreply@blogger.com
