Always drill stainless steel slow, if you are seeing long cuttings the speed is correct. Stainless is relatively soft.
Go to fastenal and get a few 1/8" drill bits, a good step drill and a can of tapping foam. DRILL SLOW.I am considering adding swipers to 2 JE Adams vacs. I have a cobalt drill bit however I am not making progress on the holes. Anyone have some insight as to an easier way to drill the two holes? Cannot find a way to remove the door so I can use a drill press. Thank you.
Thanks, will try smaller bit.Yep wd40 or tri flow works and keeps bit cool.
Some body shop friends introduced us to 1/8" bits that are specifically designed for drilling out weld rivets. Small in length ... drill point on both sides ... we found them to be a good starting hole. Otherwise I agree with what the others said.Go to fastenal and get a few 1/8" drill bits, a good step drill and a can of tapping foam. DRILL SLOW.
