Advances in manufacturing techniques, such as casting and stamping, allowed for the mass production of drill bits with multiple cutting edges Advances in manufacturing techniques, such as casting and stamping, allowed for the mass production of drill bits with multiple cutting edgesdrill bits. This led to a significant increase in drilling speed and efficiency, making it possible to drill larger holes in less time.Weighing about 2.5 lbs square foot - about the same as 1/4-inch think flat sheet fiberglass plate, the grating over the flume is cut into sections so that it can be easily removed. Handholds are then either cut into each section or a bar of the grating is removed at one end of a grating section to allow an operator's gloved hand to lift the grating section out of the way.
