I suggest turning off the Metallica and heading over to Barry Manilow territory

I don't know, it may feel like twice as long and increase the impatience of the whole affair. :grin:

I have a good trick for holesawing SS buy a set of greenlee 660 carbide cutters and blast through stainless like it was made of butter. I have my second set being shipped to me right now. I had my first set for 2 years until it was stolen last week. I cried for days.

agreed. well worth the money

Drill ...............s...............l...............o...............w...............l...............y
Press HARD
When you see a curl of material start to come up, you have the right mix of speed and pressure....keep that curl coming and you'll be fine.
..................it's true

I totally agree.
You have to let the drill bit do its work.
Any metal drilling at proper speed per the metal, one should create "C" chips. The softer the material the bigger the chip the harder the smaller but as always you should create a curl and if a spirals your truly at the correct speed and force. The spiral is just "C" chips unbroken and your removing material continually.

Drilling stainless

Drilling stainless

Commercial kitchen equipment installers use "Windex" as a lubricant for drilling ss. That and a slow speed on the drill.

find some Tap Magic http://www.tapmagic.com/TMwhere.htm
you can cut through stainless with a dull bit in reverse

you can attest to that? of course not in reverse, but is it really that good?

Nothing better.
We used the Windex gag on people too.

I once had to install a bunch of stainless steel disconnects for a hotel kitchen dishwasher setup. The foreman came back with a whole box of holesaws from the supply closet for me to kill. (No wonder CES went out of business. :roll: I used WD-40 and drilled slowly as suggested, but I still managed to get the holesaws glowing red. All in all I think it took two holesaws per hole.

well, i wouldn't say incredible. :wink: a guy beating the heck out of a double bass drum during every song doesn't do much for me. i got out of the screamo death metal scene a few years ago. :smile: i actually played in a cradle of filth inspired band once. weird times.

I've done some of my best work listening to Black Sabbath but some days clasical music on Public radio is just the ticket.

if you like classical, XM has a couple of nice channels in "Classical" and "Pops". One of my favorite is a channel that plays movie scores. I love it. This is a little cheesy, but the score from "Pirates of the Caribbean" is one of my favorites. I have the Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer versions in my ipod.

i worked with a plumber that loved death metal. we got along pretty well. cradle of filth is incredible

Check out Children of Bodom - oops i did it again .....a bit heavier than Britney had in mind ~ not really a "video"....just the album cover of CoB and the cover tune.

BTW..CoB is a Finnish death metal band
