I have a Bette pressed steel bath, I need to drill a hole out for a single lever bath tap, Anyone done this before? what's the best type of hole saw to use? I'm a little worried about the enamel on top of the steel
Decent bi-metal holesaw with cutting compound. Or good quality hss bits and a good jigsaw with a metal cutting blade be carefull!
Cheers for the info, I'll not be using the Jigga on this occasion! the hole saw seems viable though, still worried about the enamel chipping. I have some spray enamel that I use to repair chips in baths, so gonna spray the cut edge with that too, sound OK?
Captain, I had a guy lined up to do the work but he's gone AWOL so i'm forced to do it myself. Never needed to do one before.
I'll give U one tip bathy lad! Make sure U drill a pilot hole same size as the holesaw arbor bit. Then when U use the holesaw go in reverse until you're through the enamel and have scored the steel, then change to forward gear! Stops the chipping etc!
I use starret when i need to drill through RSJ's and have no choice,their cutters are the best have look on the link for what you need http://www.starrett.co.uk/products/sawblades/hole-saws/
