I searched all over and NO ONE have picture of it?
Some say ” It’s hard to Drill Stainless Steels, It’s Tough to Drill Stainless Steels ” LIES, LIES, LIES!!!
I got MAD , so Here is how I did it. I took before and
after pix so you all can see . I also included what type of tools I used to do it, wear Eye Protection, it was so EASY!
1. I punched a hole in where I needed, I use NAILS, then a small bit to drill break the Hole. Use Xtra WD-40 for this one.
2. Once I got the small Hole, I used BOSCH TITANIUM Drill Bits, 5/64″, 7/64″, 7/32″, 5/16″, 1/2″ with the help of WD-40 to Drill stepping up the Hole bigger and bigger to 1/2″.
3. Since I needed the Hole to be 1-1/18″. I trace it with a marker, I use a Round File and FILE the heck out of it until I got the Hole big enough to fit my New Soap Dispenser.
4. After about 1/2 an hour of Filing the Dam Hole with rest, cause I don’t want to hurt my muscles the next day, LOL. I use the small file to smooth it out, DONE!!!!
5. To Clean-Up, I use a WET Paper Towel and Wrapped a Magnet around it so the Magnet will pick up all the Metals, even smallest pieces.
6. I can’t seem to get help at all from searching all over the net to do this. I pretended that I was living in the Stone Age and use what I got just like the ancient Egyptians, LMFAO…. Another thing, I also pretended that I was in Jail breaking out, it really helped Filing the Dam Hole Faster…. hehehehehe
Hope that will help someone .
