Just tried drilling a hole for my thermometer/sight gauge and at 1/16" from the size I need, my corded drill would not drill anymore. I used a lot of metal cutting fluid, but might have used too much speed. Previously I used a cordless drill, which was a little slower. I'm waiting for the battery on my cordless drill to recharge, and try that since it has a torque adjustment (kicking myself for not getting a corded drill with torque adjustment )
Is there anything else I can do? Or any tips on how to work with work hardened steel? Or would this be normal, the final size will be 13/16" and I remember the final 1/16 or so was slower using my cordless drill, but it also ran out of battery power.
