Big big tip for holesaws (particularly in thicker steel) is to start drilling to get the kerf started, and then stop and drill a hole or three on the inside of that circle as chip relief. It makes an absolutely massive difference in how well it cuts. 3" holesaw on the drill press will happily chew through 1/2" plate in 10-15 seconds if it has a chip relief hole in the kerf. It lets you push a lot harder too, and having a high chip load helps keep things cool.

[@hypergamy5901]

For the magnet mounted drills, if you use a sheet of thin paper under it and fold it up the front next to the drill bit, you can remove the drill without all the metal chips sticking to it.

[@mikeeagle2653]

When you turn the magnet off the chips no longer stick they fall off. No need for paper

[@raydreamer7566]

Take from a retired electrician. Always drill a pilot hole instead of using the step drills smallest size starter size drill tip for drilling. That way when you really need to use the step drill maybe out of position or you no longer have a separate pilot drill bit for your step drill the step drill first size drill tip will be like new and not wanting to be sharpened because the smallest size on your step drill bit will be the FIRST to become dull....

[@phoneapps7351]

[@trinifirst6702]

Thank you. Before this video, I never knew there were hole saws for metal. Always saw them as making holes in wood, usually for installing locks. Thanks to your video, I saved myself a ton of money as I was building my own hydraulic press, and I thought my only option was to take the steel to a machine shop to drill.

[@markchidester6239]

Excellent video 👍 The Milwaukee mag drill is amazing Years ago I had to drill and tap 3/4"-9 clamp bolt holes in a 400 ton press Platten. Press moved horizontally so the drill was on its side. Corded version of Milwaukee mag drill. Wasn't an electric magnet. Holes were about 2" or more deep, don't remember the size, but it was for 3/4" bolts. Stepped up the hole size a few times. Then I chucked up the tap, got it spinning, turned off the drill and sent the tap into the hole. The momentum started the tap nice and square. Finished it by hand after unchucking the tap leaving it in the hole and removing the drill. Excellent drill! Can't imagine how nice they are nowadays.

[@stephenferguson4195]

Perfect video! Debunks all the telltales and myths of drilling metal!! If you’re struggling when drilling into metal/keep breaking drill bits/drill keeps walking.. 90% of the time it’s operator error! (That’s also true for all the work in any trade..) Step back and take a second to think of a better way to get the job done. Be aware of your body position when using a hand drill, (especially corded ones with high torque!!) be aware of the angle at which your drill bit is being pushed against the metal, and be aware of the amount of pressure that needs to be applied for the desired bit size. Don’t go putting all your weight on the drill when you’re using an 1/8” drill bit and vice versa. Essentially, if it’s bending like Beckham or spinning in place without extruding any chips, then you’re doin something wrong.

[@jimharvard]

i enjoyed your video. i have a car collection and do all the restoration and repair work myself and have worked on cars for over 50 years. i like you, have drilled a lot of metal. i would only offer you two points to include in all your videos and both are very important. 1. at the very beginning of talking about drilling metal, i would emphasize the necessity of wearing safety glasses. metal chards and shavings are so sharp, ragged, and small that ANY piece of metal that flies into a person's eye WILL likely be SERIOUS up to the point of actually losing the eye. as you know, metal shavings go all over the place when drilling and this precaution is extremely important if a person is close to the metal being drilled. protection of one's eyes when drilling metal should be THE FIRST thing a person attends to because the very FIRST accident could change a person's life forever. 2. i would suggest that you wear gloves in all your drilling videos OR tell people to NEVER try to brush metal shavings away with an "unprotected" finger if they are not wearing gloves. i know it can sometime be just a reflex action where you want to drill something fast and you grab a drill and just start drilling then when done, you quickly brush away the shavings with your hand or finger. HOWEVER, it doesn't take too many times of watching blood drip out of your hand or finger or having to stop the project to go get a pair of tweezers to dig a metal shaving out of one's hand or finger to GET THE MESSAGE NOT to brush razor sharp metal drill shavings away with one's hand or finger. all in all, you had a great video.

[@stephenferguson4195]

Recently picked me up that same Milwaukee mag drill and I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s an absolute joy to use. I love how fast and easy it is. Just to clarify for anyone comparing different mag drills in the market, 18:40 Milwaukee claims that the max magnetic force is 2,000 lbs.

[@colomacountry]

Awesome vlog thanks! I love those demming bits wow!! My hack to save bits is to start the hole with a self tapping screw of various sizes, then finish the hole with a drill bit. A hack yes but it works. In hard to reach location, I'll use a large hand clamp to pull the drill into the steel, this works wonders and saves your wrist and arm. One end of the clamp behind the drill and the other on the side of the metal, screw and clamp at the same time.

[@tunichtgut5285]

Step drills are indispensable when drilling in sheet metal - they are ideal for anthing below 2mm. Sheet metal is to thin for regular twist drill bits - they fail to produce round holes, you get a helicopter effect and the material will be bent around the hole. A step drill will make a nice round hole in sheet metal without all these problems.

[@mechantics]

"Helicopter Effect"! That's a perfect way to describe what you are referring to.... Reminds me of the day I learned that a fan is, mechanically speaking, a screw

[@gomlin3108]

Neat trick. Put a small square of cloth folding into 4ths between the drill bit and the hole. No helicopter.

[@tunichtgut5285]

@@gomlin3108 I know that tick. But the holes are still not very round. Step drills are better at that. The best holes are produced by punching.

Great video! I think you missed a few opportunities to mention using simple plate drill guides. I machined out a nicely crafted RC car chassis as a kid using only vise grips, a crappy old drill, and a thin piece of metal and/or G10 fiberglass as a guides. I only had to clamp the guide over my hole, and it really impressed me how accurate the whole chassis turned out. Also for hole saws, if you have no pilot available, you can use a template guide of sorts as well. I know you're probably well aware of all of this, lol.

Thanks for sharing how to drill holes thru steel, you are a good teacher

[@thallmeister]

When I'm center punching a hole for accuracy I use 2 punches, one pointy center punch to get some penetration and then a wider angle punch to match the drill bit angle and help it not wander. Checking the tip of the bit before use is a good habit to get into. Oh yeah and if your drill bit catches before it exits the material, you can run it in reverse to help punch through. Thanks for the video, I'm sure it'll help push people pass their hesitations with drilling into metal. I was a little hesitant as well before I started my die maker apprenticeship, so I can relate.

Hello Kriss ! I found your knowledge very helpful ! Thank you ! I would like to share this with you !

To tighten all 3 is even better !

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzbin.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

To extend the life of a drill bit you need to keep it cool. In my line of work I’ve drilled hundreds of thousands of holes, and what I use is water with dish detergent. Take a bottle of water, poke a pinhole in the cap, squirt a little Dawn dish detergent in and you’re good to go . The water cools the bit , the detergent adds lubricant and you’re not left with an oily mess when you’re finished.

[@garycarbonneau499]

I also use dish soap when drilling any type of metal. My main reason is that l paint or anodize all my parts and don't need to worry about excessive oil in my parts.

[@ronbianca1975]

Good job my friend! An old Indian trick when drilling with a hole saw (when you don't want the pilot hole to show) is to use a a scrap of material (predrilled) as a guide !

I really like using an SDS drill for hole saws, you can get arbors with an SDS shank. SDS drills are good because they are geared lower than a conventional hand-held drill.

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

I have been around all of this for years, but after hurting my back and being unable to work, I became, let's say "CHEAP". So I aften look for used bed frames. Great for simple welding projects, but drilling holes in them is ROUGH!!! I am all ears for suggestions on drilling hardened and/or hot rolled steel.

[@melgross]

Cobalt drills are HSS. There are a number of types of HSS. I have these DeWalt bits too, and the problem with them is that while they’re pretty good for a mid priced product, they’re impossible for most people to resharpen, if that’s something you want to do. Use a spring center punch to make an accurately placed dimple, then use a hammered punch to make the hole larger. Other than annular cutters, which must be used in a drill press of some kind, those general purpose holes saws don’t make accurate holes, no matter who makes them. Often they’re not clean. Step drills make much more accurate holes.

Storage tip.... when putting your drills away in a drill index, store then TIP DOWN in the case. This gives you two benefits, first you don't cut your fingers on the drill points when flipping through the index and second, if by some misfortune you bugger up the shank when the drill stalls and the chuck messes the shank up, it will still fit in the drill index (you can also grind off the shank buggers too).

I like to actually be able to see the condition of all of my drill bits in an index. Sometimes I'm a bit remiss when it comes to sharpening.

In any event I value the ability of being able to see the condition of all of my drills at a glance.

center drills are great (and cheap) for making pilot holes. And you dont need to buy a punch, just grind an old drill bit or tap

[@GFTP100]

Using a brittle cutting tool is a very bad idea. A punch is made from a more appropriate alloy that's tougher than any cutting tool. A shattered drill will throw shards of sharp metal everywhere.

@@GFTP100 a punch has to be harder than the material it punches, and therefore more brittle too. Using 6mm diam or more HSS drills/taps you'll be fine, they wont shatter

Note to self: when drilling holes in "side ways" into metal, use a drill that has two hand holds so you can get pressure onto it from both sides. That helped a lot. I also bought some Cobalt bits, that may have also helped. And used that sticky oil for lubricant "bar and chain oil" so it wouldn't drip off as quick...

[@jsmith5443]

you can also pulse the trigger, and/or lower the pressure you apply to the drill.

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

When I'm drilling with a hand drill, I often employ a guide to keep the cut at 90°. I have a metal-turning lathe and made s step pin with a clampable base and center drilled (using the lathe) out to several common drill shank sizes. I also keep several common thread sized drill bits, both tapping size and through (clear) size along with the correct-sized tap on a block mounted to my work bench wall, so I always have the proper bit when drilling and tapping holes. The 90° guides are turned out if aluminum round stock.

[@slakjawnotsayin5451]

I always assumed the bit in the middle of hole saws, were for helping to grip and pull the saw ring down as it went. I knew it was there for keeping in place, but I also thought it was for the other reason too. But I guess, the saw ring probably wouldn't be digging a fast as the bit anyway, which would leave you with it just spinning in the middle anyway. Or maybe not, I don't know... LOL 1 thing I do know is, if your bit is smoking, it's probably because you are going too fast, and even if you do use cutting oil, it will just burn the oil if you go too fast. As you shouldn't have a really smooth hole at the end of your tip, where it's just polishing the metal. LOL The larger the metal coiling out, or even just coming out of the hole, the better. Fantastic video man!!! I just ordered a set of those 9/16" to 1" bits because of your vid, thank you for the info!

Thanks for the guide! If you have time, could you please elaborate on the different combinations of drill speed and strength on various materials you use, from your experience?

When interviewing for a job in the weld shop, we would ask the applicant to drill a hole in steel. We would hand him/her the drill and show them the location. If they asked for cutting oil, that moved them to the hire list.
