@PaulHammond51@fosstodon.org Wow, that's a remarkably tenacious slab of rock

@PaulHammond51@fosstodon.org I hope they have a chance to take a series of photos as the soil under the rock is freshly exposed to the sun. Extra science!

@PaulHammond51@fosstodon.org for some reason i always thought those rocks went down a lot farther... it's just a pancake? doesn't even look like it flaked off a larger rock. that's all it is

@PaulHammond51@fosstodon.org 😲 They need a quick forward-reverse routine. If the drill speaks G-code, then something like M03, M04, or maybe try peck drilling with, say, G73? 🤓 🙃 #LinuxCNC

@PaulHammond51@fosstodon.org This is someone's job. That person is quite fortunate, and I am grateful for them.

Assuming the rock is stuck to the drill (not the drill arm), and that the arm can be tilted sideways: Stabilize the edge of the rock upright against the ground and run the drill. This should decrease friction between the rock and the drill, allowing the rock to fall away without it also spinning.
