Drilling metal cocktail CP
drventure:
+1 for Harbor Freight step bits. They don't last very long, but they're cheap, and they cut through sheet metal nicely. Plus they don't wobble around like a regular bit, they act much more like a milling bit.
Just run your drill press a little slower.
Necro:
Question on this I was thinking about yesterday - the 1-1/8" hole saws, the dimension is outer diameter, right? (i.e., including the saw's width itself)
TopJimmyCooks:
Correct, and with a hole saw its easier to hog it out to a slightly larger dimension, it will not be smaller however.
extendedplayarcade:
I have cut metal with a bi metal hole saw on a cordless drill before and used cutting oil to help with the process. Makes a big difference with the oil. I noticed no one mentioned the cutting oil so i figured i would throw in my two cents. I hope it helps.
I am also building a cocktail table too but i ordered my control panel pre done. They are made out of metal seeing I know my kids will be beating them to hell so I didn't want to make the CP out of wood.
I am going to make a build page one of these days if I can get around to it.
I didn't know Arcade Depot was still in biz. I emailed them a few times to order the kit from them but they never got back to me. I know they are in NJ and was asking them if I could pick up to save on shipping. Maybe they knew who i am didn't want me near their place of biz :laugh2:
