I have some 7/8 or 1" ball bearings, I want to drill a 1/4 inch hole half way into them.
What are my options?
I havn't tried heating them up first to see if that will soften them, would that work?
OR
What is another source for a 7/8 1" steel sphere that I can drill into. They need to be smooth, but not chrome plated smooth.
HSS steel bit doesnt cut it.
I don't have a radius cutter for my lathe and I dont think I have time to build one.
Thanks for your .02
