So a few weeks ago I was on a job with a plumber and we were only supposed to weld brackets into place but this plumber was to drill at least a 1 1/2" hole through 5/8" thick probably 316 stainless. The guy got half way through with a 1/2" bit and burnt up his brand new drill. He got a 3/8" through hole. I was told to stay out of the plumbers way, but I knew they couldn't handle it. When it got to this point, I asked him how he was going up from the 1/2" hole. He said he was going to use a step drill. Now obviously that is stupid, but I was thinking, is it really possible to do that.
I ended up pulling my mag drill out and a piece of 1/2" steel flat bar and drilled it out with a 1 3/4" hougen bit.
