Straight Axle Holes?

[Hard On Parts]

What do you use to put the holes in straight axles? Plasma(do not have one), torch, Big ass drill bit, 12 gauge shotgun with slugs http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif?

you can do it with a big-ass drill 7/8" or 1" and a big-ass drill press, but they come out much nicer with a mill. do you got any machinest buddy's? that's who I mooch off of for shit like this.

Drill em half way through on the press then flip the axle over and use the pilot hole to index it. Use lots of lube.

I had a guy do my axle on a mill. He did big in the middle out to smaller on the ends. Looks sweet. It would take a big drill press!

Hole saw.

[Deyomatic]

Ian, would that be a special hole saw, or just a regular old metal hole saw?

Didn't Roothawg or someone do a post about using a hole saw? It was a long time ago, but whoever it was just used a regular ol' hole saw and a hand held drill too, I think.

A regular hole saw will work.
Just run it slow,and use lots of coolant.
Of course,a Carbide tipped hole saw would last longer.
