Default cutting HSS blanks

~B
For small pieces of HSS I use a cut off wheel in a Dremel or other hand
grinder. For larger pieces I use a 1/8" cut off wheel in an angle grinder. A
friend of mine swears by a 1/16" cut off wheel in his spin saw. I have no
idea how to drill the stuff but you can grind a hole through it. That is
what they used to do in the aeronaughtics branch of the manufacturing
business my father-in-law worked at.
