-25*c here tonight
Mid to late March for tapping up here. Once we get to around 2*c I will start cleaning buckets and preping everything g else
Purchased a new tapping bit this year to see how much better it is than a regular drill bit
Not sure what youre drilling but I found the step bits from canadian tire work great for drilling stainless steel and they make a nice clean hole. They come in handy for many other uses as well and they're on sale this week.
