Why Do I Have Trouble Drilling Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel is a beautiful material but it can easily work harden. Meaning... if you let off
your feed pressure and allow heat to build up, the material can harden up to the point that
it becomes almost impossible to continue. Use solid steady feed pressure, plenty of
coolant and DO NOT let up to adjust your position.
Should I Use a Power Feed Drill?
Power feed drills offer a nice option for increased productivity. Many shops set up multiple
drills for one operator to run.

Can I Drill on the Same Material They are Welding?
No. Drilling on the same material as they are welding can cause the magnet and circuit
board to short out.
