Default Drill 1/16th inch hole through 8mm stainless steel rod?

So I'll do it the way you suggested next time.


Cool, R.

I did something different today. Switched from drilling 9/16" holes
with a round-shanked-bit to 5/8" holes with a tri-cut-shanked-bit.

Wow! Was it easier! Drill bit hit those left over hunks and sheared
'em off like it meant business. None of that frustrating drill bit
stopping and pulling the drill and and starting over ten times crap.
