A week ago, while trying to drill out enough of a bulkhead Rolok screw/bolt, I noticed that the drill bit for the "easy-out" came out with metal filings attached to the tip. They were clearly held to the drill bit since it had become magnetized. This week, while fine-tuning the latch plate positioning for the entrance door dead-bolt, the two long frame screws that hold the plate in place, came out each with metal filings magnetically held to the tips of the screws.
My question is ' do these two instances of magnetized fasteners mean that I have an electrical problem that is affecting in the unit'? We are currently hooked up to 'shore power'. There are no other electrical anomalies evident. There does not appear to be a 'hot-skin' situation with the RV.
Ideas?
No.
It just means the frame is made of steel, not aluminum or wood. All is well.
I think he is questioning why the magnetic properties on the drill bit. It is caused by the drill bit spinning in the steel.
