Yes, a 1.5" hole in SS would be a heavy job even for a BP. You might
consider one of the 'Rotabroach' type annular cutters. These require a lot
less power to 'drill' a hole.

Ditto that. The Rotabroach tooling works like a charm as long as you use
plenty of coolant. Otherwise, you can easily get lulled into a false sense
of security with them and burn 'em out.
