Cobalt layout
« on: September 29, 2006, 07:28:59 AM »
So I'm getting my Cobalt Pearl Pin above and between the fingers, and the MB (I know it's a symmetrical core) at 40 degrees.

As per my coach's recommendation.

Anybody have one drilled like that, what kind of reaction do you get?

Thanks!

I've had just the opposite, I've had about zero luck with this drilling.  But I see lots of people using it so I guess it's just not for me.

Zues, this drilling works best with shorter pins, i.e. 1-2". Maybe you've used this layout with longer pins, which is why you haven't had much success..? =:^D

I contacted Lane 1 and they recommend I drill it 5 X 4.

Any thoughts?

I'm trying to fix my stupid video camera.

It very well could be a personal thing. I am a high tracking stroker. I have this drill (Label 1:30) on a Black Cherry Bomb (3" pin), Army Green Carbide Bomb (3.5" pin), Uranium Pearl (4" pin), Gold Nugget (4" pin), Bullet (4" pin), and XXXL (3" pin). I am having my second Super Carbide Bomb drilled this way also (3.5" pin).

The BCB, and the Army Green flare like mad! The Uranium pearl is not far behind. While the reactions are very strong, they are also very controllable. It is a strong arc, not a violent squirt.

The above results are from my experiences. That being said, it is not uncommon to get a as many different answers to this sort of question as you do people answering it.

Like you said, it works good for you.  But works good for you doesn't always work good for me.  And I'm sure there's stuff I have that wouldn't do a thing for you.  It's all your personal preferance.  So I guess the best thing to do is consult your driller and talk over what works best for your style...

Maybe I should just drill it aggressively, that way I'm not worried about it going to far or not hooking, and I can always adjust the coverstock accordingly to the condition.

I am going to have to agree with Zeusjr on the Label layout I also have tried the Label layout on a few saws, short pins, long pins, and everything in between pin distance, and the only Lane1 that I have had good luck with the label layout is the XXL with about a 3-3 1/2" pin the label layout just does not work for me.
had two HDBs,a Bcb, and a few others layed out label and they just would not move for me.

Ok, I've narrowed the layout between: 5 X 3, 5 X 4 or 4.5" X 3.5".
