What happens here
In the ultimate test of durability, the presenter attempts to drill through a Nicholson file. He explains that this type of file has a hardness of 67 on the Rockwell Diamond scale of 100, making it extremely difficult to drill. The bit successfully drills through the file, demonstrating its superior strength and heat resistance. The presenter notes that the tip would turn 'cherry red' if it weren't for the special composition, implying its ability to withstand extreme temperatures generated during drilling hard materials.
Goal: Showcase the drill bit's ability to penetrate extremely hard tool steel.
