So I bought a new reproduction label plate for the gear box on my SB9. The holes don't quite line up with the originals. I decided just to use some button head #6 screws to fasten it down.
Well I tried to drill out one existing hole. The bit went in enough to widen it up, but won't go any deeper.
I tried a smaller bit in another existing hole. It wouldn't go any deeper either.
I tried to make a new hole. Drill bit didn't do a thing.
These were good sharp bits.
What the heck is this thing made of? Looks like regular cast iron. Should drill easy.
Any advice? I'm about to give up and use double sided tape.
