JohnnyNoName Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hello all - I need to drill some 15/32" holes in my cast iron tablesaw wing so I can mount a router table onto it. The problem is, I don't have a 15/32" drill bit for metal. Any recommendations as to where and what to buy? Thanks in advance, Jonathan ================================================ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan S Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 For that number of holes, go to your local BORG, and get the cheapest bit rated for metal. I'm assuming your going to be using a had drill? Hello all - I need to drill some 15/32" holes in my cast iron tablesaw wing so I can mount a router table onto it.

kentuckybill Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 No special bit is required for driling cast. Drill a pilot hole first then follow up with a cheap bit from Lowes. It should drill fairly easy. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben@FineWoodworking Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I actually found that my auto zone had a better selection of drill bits these days. Cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
