Ficus 36 Posted September 12, 2017 Yea did it myself. Which I was trying to avoid because the surefire brake was a pain to drill through. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a while, the FSCs started coming pre-drilled because everyone was having such a hard time with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golf battery 1,215 Posted September 12, 2017 The troys are even harder. I gave up on that and sent it out. The fsc one even with 1/32 starter hole helped but even still was a bitch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maintenanceguy 491 Posted September 12, 2017 The easy way to drill hard steel is to use a drill bit made for the purpose: https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-drill-bits/=19ckogx Clamp everything down in a drill press. Hard drill bits are brittle and will break if things move around and you need to apply more pressure than you an with a hand held drill. Avoid heat. Heat kills drill bits. Use plenty of oil. Reducing friction reduces heat and oil draws heat away from the bit. Make sure you're cutting the entire time you're drilling. If your bit rubs without cutting, you create heat which damages your bit. Use a slow rotating speed. The slower you do the work, the less heat you create. If you're using a walmart drill bit in a hand held drill, it's going to be very hard to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
