I have spent the last week trying to drill a hole through a 1/8th inch thick peice of stainless steal, I have broken three bits includeing a cobalt bit I got spesificaly for this purpose, a number of dremil bits, and a dimond tiped grinder. all this for a 1/8th inch hole in a 1/8th inch thick pece of metal, when I make my hordes of flesh eating robots they will be made out of this stuf

Can I be first to say......... no ****, Sherlock?

Try a tungsten carbide drill bit. If that doesn't do it, nothing short of diamond will.

[Bobboau]

well the thing is I've already tried diamond

[Nuke]

ive drilled 1/16" stainless and it was fairly easy. i think i was using carbide. you need to start with the smaller bit and work your way up, you cant just drill steel with the widest bit first you gotta progress up the index, widening the hole as you go. and dont force it, let the drill eat its own way through.

[Flipside]

Yup, drill a guide hole first, and use cutting fluid on the metal whilst you are drilling, anything to transfer the heat away from the drill bit. Be careful as well, SS causes a lot of 'swarf' (little bits of metal from drilling) and these can get into the grooves on the bit and ruin its cutting effectiveness

What are you doing, cracking a safe?

[Bobboau]

makeing a new handle for a sword, the blade only had one hole in it.

[aldo_14]

Ah, right, that's only slightly less dodgy sounding then.

[an0n]

That's not dodgy.

I'm making a ring with three razor-blade tips poking out of it so I can gash peoples faces open when I punch them.

That's dodgy.

I'm betting you'll cut yourself on it within five minutes of putting it on, and it will never live to see the glory of combat on the merciless British streets.

Just remember to take the ring off before you have a little wank.

[phatosealpha]

Seems like a lot of work for a sword made of stainless.

[Grug]

LMAO!
*funniest thing I've read in a long time*

[Nuke]

if you want a dangerous and painfull weapon, tie a bunch of bicycle sprockets to the end of a length of rope

[Descenterace]

Keys.

Trust me. Keys innocently kept on the end of a piece of string can REALLY mess up someone's face if swung hard enough, and that keeps you out of range of a knife. Plus you can then use the string to strangle.

[Turambar]

i could also use my keys to stab someone

of course, if i get mugged, i'd probably just tell the person that stabbing me isn't worth the $5 in my pocket

[achtung]

A 7mm round will go through a 1/4 inch piece of steel.  Try that, just out of boredom.

[Mars]

Try a 9mm hollowpoint on 1/8" steel plate.

Just remember to take the ring off before you have a little wank.

Or before you pleasure anyone else, cum to think of it.

Or, for that matter, before punching someone in the face.
