Hi All,
Like many people, I like to use two large 12 inch salad bowls as a
top terminal. For my new one, with built in current sensors, I had to drill
5 holes through the bowls. WOW! was it hard. The stainless steel in those
things must be very high in chromium content or something. I trashed a
number of nice drill bits. The titanium nitride bits work for a moment then
just slide on the surface. If anybody has any better ways to drill nice
holes through this stuff, I would love to know about it.
Thanks,
