It depends on whether you're worried about staining or coloring the wood. If you aren't worried about it then anything will work, if you are worried stick to water, or even as dumb as it sounds, sex jelly. You're mostly trying to help reduce friction to keep the drillbit for heating up which keeps it from expanding. Spade bits are just awful in general I can't imagine trying to drill overhead with one. Your fancy bit is already going to be like 10 times better than the spade bit so might be able to just rock on through.

It's just drilling through my center span floor joists in my basement so I don't care about staining. I'll try and spray something on there. Trying to remember if I still have a corded 1/2" drill, I hope I still do.

If you do indeed have a corded one then that drill bit is going to be fine and I wouldn't worry about oiling it as it'll be through before you know it; wood isn't concrete...

 I bought this IBM Model M13. 19 years old and it still works fine. I find it hilarious though that it's got an incredibly heavy metal frame, nice high-quality key switches, and the most miserable, cheap, lovely trackpoint and mouse buttons imaginable. Not that anybody actually uses them, because people buy these to have a black Model M, but come on. Woolie Wool has a new favorite as of 19:20 on May 5, 2016 |

 Pioneer VSX-530-K 5.1 4K receiver with Bluetooth to replace the 30 year old Marantz stereo receiver I'd been using. It'll be lovely to have a receiver with HDMI for once, and also one I can listen to podcasts on my phone with wirelessly.

I don't know about that. I've got no issues running a 4" hole saw with my Makita 18v drill, even through transite cement fiber siding on top of old wood siding, or through multiple layers of plaster, lathe, and metal mesh. I've got zero reason anymore to touch my corded drill, I can't even remember the last time I cracked the case. I've even used it with an 18" x 1" wood auger/installer bit similar to the one linked earlier, through century old hardwood joists, and the Makita cordless drill has performed flawlessly. Only corded drill I'd ever buy these days would be a proper SDS hammer drill.

Shanghaied posted:Where and how much? PS/2 connector I'm guessing? eBay, $190. This is, believe it or not, a fair price for an example in good condition--they are rare and quite valuable. Even damaged one (enter key cap that popped off during use, advertised as a "good candidate for restoration") went for $112 at auction. It has a bifurcated PS/2 cable, one tail ends in the trackpoint connector, the other in the keyboard connector. There is no color coding so you have to examine each connector for the symbol to determine which is which. There's an even more expensive battleship gray "industrial" version, which is worth over $300 and is the ugliest keyboard I've ever seen in my life.

But I didn't want to out myself as one of those keyboard people  . People go absolutely nuts over the older grey IBM Ms, but the look was never really my thing. However I really dig the old 90s black-and-red IBM look, so might have to go for one of these at some point. Jmcrofts posted:These are the poo poo. I wear them like 8+ hours a day every day. I thought I couldn't really go wrong for $50, plus paying for a pair of $70-$80 earphones every year because of broken cables is getting ridiculous, so hopefully from now on I only have change the cable every now and then.

Woolie Wool posted:I really wish IBM had made basic Model Ms in black, as they would be cheaper and not have a dopey red clitoris sticking out, but they didn't so I hear what you are saying, but the red clit mouse was like the quintessential element to Richard Sapper's design vision for IBM in the 1980s. The red clit mouse was ThinkPad, it was IBM. You know that Lenovo did when they first bought the ThinkPad brand from IBM? They put the loving red clit on their logo.  It's still on new ThinkPads even though no one has touched that clit in like 20 years.

I actually love that clit. It doesn't help that the Lenovo trackpads are hit and miss. Some generations they are fine and some are near Apple quality. The clit has remained constant throughout.

I probably have the same 18v Makita as you do and although it's loving superb and has done me well by many things I've done DIY, the extra power of a corded drill will make virtually any drilling job effortless due to the ridiculous RPM they spin at and the amount of torque they can generate. I'm not suggesting a battery drill can't do the same jobs as a corded, just that the corded will make life far easier in every respect. Work smarter, not harder.

I've been strugging with putting holes in my block foundation wall with my 18V Makita drill. I have a pergola project coming up that will involve more drilling into our foundation and also into concrete pavers/concrete footers, so I'm going to drop the money on a corded hammer drill.
