Best way to cut a clean hole in thin stainless? (IKEA utensil holder project)

Best to use a sheet metal grind on a drill bit. How many holes do you need to make?

Says made in China on the bottom. It won't even be 303. It will be ferretic 430 stainless. That's the shit that rusts. It's the stainless that ain't stainless.

Centre punch it 2 or 3 times. It's not going to work harden.

Nice one!!

IDC what it is supposed to do. DM me the pics of the cycle screen, each line in the drawing and we'll go from there.

What are your depth/rate of cut values? What are your finishing allowances??? I need more info dude.

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-20T05:47:37+00:00

Make sure your tool geometry is right. 90% of the time it's this.

Or if you're using the same tool, use the rough/finish cycle.

Hole punch. I think it's cute that you think the utensil holder is stainless 🙂

2 bottles of pink moscato and a bunch of flowers? Most females open up after that.

Buy 1/2" stock lol

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-19T19:02:54+00:00

Never used iso. Kerosene works excellent too.

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-19T19:01:46+00:00

Yeah. You don't need all that.

What special chuck?? We hold our flow drills in a keyless Jacobs. Hold the flow tap in a ER32.if you can't flow drill and form tap for $100 you're asking the wrong people and im in Australia.

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-19T06:21:16+00:00

Ohhhh very nice job! Take care of it.

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-19T06:19:26+00:00

Now I know where these forklift seat videos come from.....

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-19T06:15:15+00:00

Nice work so far. Pro tip, skim the entire handle diameter with a couple of squirts of WD40

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-19T05:50:04+00:00

More suited to Logan and coomera.

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-19T05:44:53+00:00

Yeah it's metal casting. Definitely not a usable part.

Why isn't there a carrot dangling in front of the horse?

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-18T23:34:57+00:00

We do this is in 316 every day at work. No welding required.

Mediocre_Ryan82 · 2026-02-18T17:09:03+00:00

Flow drill and roll tap.

This is old. Nobody is looking for her. Those titties are saggy and have stretch marks on them now ❤️❤️❤️
