drill a hole in a knife blade?
I carried a Buck knife for 10 years that had:
a) light weight plastic handle b) folding c) locking d) belt clip e) one hand operation f) some serrations on blade Then I lost it last week. They don't make them anymore. So I found a Buck 442 knife in new old stock on Ebay. But that knife has no thumb button on the blade. I have put thumb buttons on blades that already have a button hole. I just screw two 4-40 nuts on an Allen head set screw and grind to fit. So now I would want to drill a 1/8" hole in some kind of hard stainless blade is .120" thick. Can I just buy a carbide drill http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?P...PMAKA=317-5931 or a http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?P...PMAKA=317-6027 and drill a hole at 700 r.p.m with no coolant or cutting oil or annealing? TIA |
