Re: Drilling Through Hardened Steel

You can try a carbide drill, a little pricey though and brittle. I have also used a mason bit, they have carbide tips on them. When all else fails you can try heating the spot where you are going to drill, this should take the hardness out of the metal seeing that it is probably only surfaced hardened. Let us know how you make out.
