Hi Gents I wondered if anyone has been successful in drilling HSS, I have a couple of U/S slitting saws I wish to cut up and make a specialist scraper for woodturning. I have a couple of ideas Carbide or use EDM, wondered what you all thought Phil |

EDM would do it for sure. Otherwise you may consider grinding a hole with grinding points,but that will be very labourious .......OZ. |

Wood a diamond jigsaw blade be worth a try ? |

Hi gents Thanks for the involvement, cutting the outside profile is not an issue as I can cut a section out with one of those ultra tin angle grinder blades but a jig saw blade is another solution, then profile on the bench grinder. The hole is the issue as it wants to be @ 5mm, bigger and a diamond hole saw might be the answer, I think EDM is the best solution, but I have not got one Ihad thought about a grinding point, but you might need a few. Wondered if a carbide Christmas Tree rotary burr might work Phil |

well you can unharden it then drill the hole then re harden |
