Currently using spade bits to drill my holes to run additional outlets on a remodel. However, I keep hitting either framing nails or sheathing nails that I cannot see and the bit comes to a stand still. I then have to re sharpen the bit, and drill another hole! to avoid the nail, only to find...

Looking for glas BEADS. Can't seem to find it at any of the stores...I've got a course and medium coal slag from tractor supply, but that stuff is ripping up the aluminum. Do you guys order online? What have you had the best results for blasting aluminum?

Looking for an upgrade. Old one is starting to go out. Have bought two cheapo ones at the big box stores (only to return them) because they take for ever to get up to speed and wind down, and did I mention they are sissies compared to my old one? Who makes a decent one that can handle a real...
