  • In this video, I demonstrate how to drill through thick steel with a cordless drill (corded will work too) and metal drill bits. As long as you have a somewhat powerful and high-quality drill, drilling through steel is not a problem.
    The cobalt drill bits I used in this video:

    Cutting Oil (general purpose spray lubricants work too for softer steel):

    Looks like you are drilling with too high rpm for metal

    Does hole saw need lower speed?

      Yes, hole saws should be run at lower speeds to prevent overheating, On most modern drills setting "1" should be adequate.

    If u twist the chuck backwards after u tighten it, it will make a click and lock.

      I know, I did lock in the normal drill bit but for some reason the hole saw didn’t want to lock into the chuck?

      Wrong. This has proven to be false.

      @@2frogland That's true, but I found that cutting oil and a cobalt or TiN bit does help make it a lot easier. Interestingly enough, I found a lot of lower-grade steel is sometimes very hard, especially bed frames.

      @@DragonBuilds i generally only use cobalt as i do alot of snapped stud removal but they arent necessary for mild steel once you get above a 1/2 inch oil /cooling helps
