does a drill cause spiral spills because the drill is a spiral?

Durdle Door is one of Dorset’s most photographed and iconic landmarks. It is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and is an extremely popular beauty spot.

It is located on the Lulworth Estate in south Dorset and is part of the Jurassic Coast. The coastline is of such international geological importance that it was designated England’s first natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001 and is now part of a family of natural wonders including America’s Grand Canyon and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

The magnificent natural limestone arch was formed when the power of the waves eroded the rock and forged a hole through the middle. The name Durdle is derived from an old English word ‘thirl’, which means to pierce, bore or drill.

masonry drill bits differ from normal drill bits in that they have a hardened cutting tip (usually tungsten carbide) that is used to chip/grind hard materials such as masonry, brick or stone rather than cut through the material. The deeply fluted spiral shape that of the bit helps to remove dust and debris from the hole that is formed. Masonry bits are tippically used in hammer drills that use a combination of percussion and rotation to create a hole of the desired dimension

Reminder of our oil dependance even on beautiful Tenerife.

What might seem like a quiet, low profile yard that would not see the need, the former Soo Line, and later, Wisconsin Central yard in Gladstone that CN still operates is a busy place that sees more trains than what one would imagine. The night RCO job drills cars on the west end with a pair of switchers that are no longer owned by CN. We spent a good amount of time that night shooting them, and it was a treat to hear those little things throttle up hard and shove the long cuts into their respective tracks.

Macro Mondays: "Spiral"

I am amazed the we (in the USA) still use the imperial measurement system.

The image is about 4.5 cm (1.75 inches) on the long edge.
