what kind of drill bit did you guys use and where to get one, i cant find a 12 inch cobalt drill bit the only ones i found at home depot is the black rigid ones the one that is coated will that work?

i bought mine( 3/16 x 14") from a small specialty type hardware store. kind of like a local ace hardware. then proceeded to perforate the plates like a fine swiss cheese

And some easy how to pics

How far are the 2 plates apart ?
Would a regular drill bit with an extension work ?

Twinturbostang · 03-08-2010, 08:38 PM

nope the extension would hit the first hole i think
Heck an extension is more that $14.99! Just buy the long bite.

I burned through two bits and got like 3 holes. What am I doing wrong? I was using gear oil to lubricate too...
