dry cutter

The Dry Dock Complex consists of six interconnected buildings located at 1801–1803 Atwater Street in Detroit, Michigan, as well as the remains of a nearby dry dock at 1900 Atwater Street. The 1801-1803 Atwater complex is also known as the Globe Trading Company Building, and in 2015 was opened by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources as the Outdoor Adventure Center.The complex is significant as a historic maritime manufacturing facility. The earliest structure, an 1892 machine shop, is also significant as an early example of an industrial building entirely supported by its steel frame, but using traditional brick and standard windows to infill the curtain walls. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. In 2012, the Department of Natural Resources received funding for historic redevelopment of the complex, along the city's east riverfront promenade.

    ***I suppose we'll get it but this is not intended for the usual Rubi vs Sigma war.*** I can't find one so am guessing the last cutter poll on the forum was back in 2013 when I was still in nappies. :) There has also been a turnover of members, many of which are active but didn't have their...

    Wet Vs Dry Drilling

    As the subject says! Can't find a current discussion on this so thought I'd ask. Need to buy some new drill bits and currently use wet diamond bits but am thinking of trying the dry ones. Has anyone got an opinion on which is better and why?
