Cheaper by the dozen....
This stainless steel is the hardest material I have ever drilled threw. If you want to take on a project like this ,some things you want to know. Brand new Milwaukee cobalt drill bits didn't even work a waste of money for this project. What worked was masonry bits and drill as slow as you can cooling with water in a squirt bottle. $2.50 per bit after one or two thick holes you have to resharpen drill bit. Most all drill bits regardless what there made out of, resharpen at an angle of 118° .I made a simple wood block jig with a hand coping saw to resharpen drill bits, just hold it at a right angle to a bench grinder, or a hand grinder....tight lines

I can't believe it's not butter.....
I like the spoons you made from the blades. I saved the blade from mine but haven't done anything with it yet - although I did actually use it for something fishing related.... my little tube of reel grease blew out the back of the tube and I ended up heating the knife blade (first good metal item I found in the drawer...) over a flame and using it to melt and seal the back of the grease tube! I haven't used my knife jig all that much, but I did catch a lizard fish jigging near the bottom near Oceanside pier and some calicos/macks on the troll at La Jolla once. Threw it for a little bit this summer at YFT and Skippies on a party boat, but not long enough for any results. The drilling was definitely a beast! I just used an old bit and forced it until it was done/destroyed. Next time I might actually try an end mill or something more like a carbide cutter run gently with a lot of fluid... |
