- Page 14 2. How can I angle drill with the Magnum? a. The Magnum 357 and the old 457 Magnum had a three part frame that allowed angle drilling in 5 degree increments up to 25 degrees. The 557 Magnum does not have this capability. b. Use a lever rig, the “Equalizer II”. Call Lockmasters, Inc. Customer Service. • Press coupler ring and slide barrel and quill assembly until the drill bit touches the surface, release coupling. 3. Is it possible to drill at a compound angle? a. Only with the Magnum 357 and the old 457 Magnum with magnets. With the drill rig installed at the desired position for angle drilling, extend the jack screws on the magnetic feet and rotate the entire rig to the desired position. Make sure you retract the jack screws...
- Page 15 High Speed Steel bits should be used to begin the hole. This bit can be used to drill the skin, some insulation, mild steel or stainless steel. Cobalt bits may also be used on any of these materials. A cobalt bit is more expensive than a high speed steel bit, but it is harder and so will hold its edge much longer. Being harder, it is slightly more brittle and more likely to break. Carbide-Tipped bits have a wedge of tungsten carbide at the tip. These bits are designed for drilling hard metals. There are basically two types, straight-fluted and spiral-fluted, and each has advantages. The straight-fluted style (Champion) has a greater cross-section and so has a stronger shank. The spiral-fluted style (MP3) will carry chips out of the hole, helping to prevent the bit from binding. One spiral-fluted bit (Mr. Twister) has notches in the cutting edge which increases the cut- ting surface by more than 17%. Carbide-tipped masonry bits are used for drilling concrete, and this is the insulation used in some fire safes. They are not well suited for drilling hard metals, because their cutting edge is sharpened to a very steep angle. Sometimes drilling with a carbide-tipped bit must be alternated with punching to break up or dislodge carbide chips. Solid carbide bits should not be used. They are brittle and may shatter and plug the hole. Diamond-Tipped Core Drill Bits (Diamatip) is used for drilling various types of carbide hard- plate. It is hollow and is filled with a lubricant which flushes debris from the hole. It is more expensive than any other type of bit, but it can save hours of time in penetrating some hardplates. The bit is somewhat fragile, and it would quickly be damaged by any rough protrusions on the hardplate sur- face. Grinding a (used) carbide-tipped bit against the surface to smooth and pocket it, will prepare the surface. Drilling is done with slow speed and light pressure. A hole saw, punch or carbide bit is used to remove the carbide core from the hole. Punches may be needed in some cases to break up or dislodge pieces of brittle hardplate. A variety of (Chisel Punches), (Pin Punches) and (Two Piece Punches) should be available. Drill Motors (Bosch-BOS1194VSR) should have good ventilation and feel comfortable when hand-held. They should draw at least 4.5 amps, to withstand the pressure that may be applied by Copyright © 12/2015 Lockmasters, Inc.
- Page 16 It allows versatility in terms of the angle of drilling, and can be used with a variety of drill motors. A fixed rig (Magnum) attaches to the safe by means of chain, straps, magnetic or pneumatic force (M-4 Vacuum Base Drill Rig). It gives great control over pressure and rate of feed. BARRIER MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES FOR DRILLING THEM Close attention should be paid to the equipment as it is being used, to determine what tech- niques or tools are appropriate. The sound of the drill motor, the forward progress of the bit in the hole, the condition of the bit and the sound of the bit as it drills — all of these must be monitored as drilling proceeds. The drill motor will be running at maximum speed before the bit contacts the safe. As mate- rial is drilled, this “load” on the motor will cause it to slow down slightly. This will be indicated by the sound of the motor dropping in pitch. If there is an air gap after the material is penetrated, the motor will speed up, because there is now no resistance. But if at this point another layer of material is reached, the drill motor may either speed up or slow down. If the bit is able to drill the second layer, the motor will slow down as the material is being drilled. If the bit is unable to drill it, the motor will speed up as the bit spins on the surface of the material. Copyright © 12/2015 Lockmasters, Inc.
- Page 17 Relsomite is a hard surfacing material bonded to a base metal. It can be drilled with a carbide-tipped drill bit and a fixed drill rig. Use 1000 rpm or less, and steady medium to heavy pressure. If one bit wears out before penetrating, punch the hole sharply with a pointed punch, attempting to crack the surface. Continue drilling with another carbide-tipped bit. Kymloy is made by bonding together tungsten carbide fragments and steel powder. It can be drilled with a drill rig and carbide-tipped drill bit. Carbide Welded hardplate is made by welding a carbide material onto a steel plate. When this is used in a safe, the carbide side will be what the drill hits first. A fixed drill rig, carbide-tipped bits, and low rpm drilling, combined with lots of punching, will succeed. Alternating bits with differ- ent tip angles is often helpful. This may be drilled quicker and more easily with a diamond-tipped core drill, after a carbide-tipped bit is used to smooth the surface. Use a fixed drill rig, slow speed (no more than 500 rpm) and light pressure. After the carbide chip portion has been drilled, use a hole saw of the same diameter to remove the core which has been cut or simply break off the core. Half an hour or more may be necessary to penetrate the hardplate. Carbide Matrix hardplates, such as Shwayder’s “Maxalloy” (also known as “Relsom”) are made by sprinkling carbide chips in a mild steel pan of copper wash. These can be identified by the copper color of the material, and by the way it gouges drill bits. This cannot be penetrated by drilling alone, even if carbide-tipped bits are used. Punching will be necessary to break up and dislodge the carbide chips, and the drilling and punching are alternated and continued until the hole is completed. A diamond-tipped core drill may also be used. Carbide Rods are sometimes used in the door or in the safe, inserted side by side in parallel holes. Punching will fracture these, and alternating drilling and punching will penetrate them. Copyright © 12/2015 Lockmasters, Inc.
- Page 18 Once the pocket is formed, drill as usual. There may be more than one of these, so check with a scope after penetrating each one. Torch-Resistant materials are sometimes found in higher-rated safes. A layer of copper or aluminum will dissipate heat rapidly, preventing a torch from melting the material. Sometimes a layer of rubber will be used, and attempts to penetrate it by torching will release smoke. This will be noticeable and would be detected by a smoke alarm. The smoke would also make breathing difficult for the technician. Copyright © 12/2015 Lockmasters, Inc.
