Cutting SS

I hate drilling SS. I prefer a cut off wheel or dremel and finish up with a carbide burr when the size will allow.
Thanks, I'm not concerned about the drilling, just the actual cutting. I have a cutoff wheel for a Zip drive cutter. Did you use a carbide burr on a dremel?

Cutoff wheel on a right angle die grinder. 3" dia, 1/32" thick as I recall.
Finish with a Rol Lok sanding disc in same grinder.
Start off by drilling the four corners, leaves a nice clean radiused corner in the finished hole. Eliminates the tendency to crack at the inner corner.

Thanks Mike! That's what I was looking for!
I have a 3" cutoff tool that I use. Carbide burr in a die grinder; You want this for high speed. Other options will work though. Dremel will work, but go slow as it doesn't have a lot of torque.
