  • In this video I will show you how to drill stainless steel with regular drill bits and hole saws. Drilling stainless steel is not as difficult as you may think and you don't need special drill bits like some will tell you. The trick to drilling stainless steel is in the speed of the drill bit. Keep the speed low. Drilling at to high of a speed will cause to much heat and dull the drill bit immediately.

    Coming back to say thanks & confirm cooling works. Used a hand pump garden sprayer w/ water and drilled 16 small holes on a stainless wall with one bit. Never dulled. Awesome!

    Wow. I break my drill bit every single time. Because I've been doing the maximum speed. I used to think the quicker the better for the drill bit. Thank you for this

    It's really cool to watch your video, it helps me a lot to drill a bunch of holes on my stainless steel bracket for an island kitchen range hood. Excellent job, Joe!

    When you see smoke or you hear squeaking while drilling stainless steel you know you're about to get in trouble. These are the two signs that you're creating heat that will ruin your drill bit. Oil it and slow down.

    The one thing I remember when learning to drill is that torque is your friend and of course heat is your enemy. So you must use heat displacement as in cutting oil, WD 40, Anchor lube, Water. Anything but dry.

    Very cool! You solved a great issue for me. Thanks.

    The cooler you keep it the longer the bit will last. The trick is slow with heavy pressure and plenty of cutting fluid to keep it cool. If you drill to fast you heat the stainless and work harden the hole.

    I wish I watched this first. I had a hell of a time drilling through my sink. Got the job done but I decided to look it up after to see the right way. I thought I was doing it right by using oil and drilling fast. Nope. Lol
