So I modded my HRAP Kai to fit a Korean stick and it’s awesome. I wanted to do the same with my TE2+ but it’s proving difficult. I can’t get the step bit to go down through the last 35mm portion of the bit to complete the hole. I’ve tried using real cutting oil, I bought another drill ( Porter Cable 2speed hammer drill), I bought a second step bit thinking the first may be toast. But it’s not working. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? What I noticed is that the panel on the HRAP was a single piece whereas on the TE2, right near the hole, it’s double deckered. Is that what’s causing the problem? How do I break through that? If I can’t do it, where could I take the panel to get it drilled to 35mm? I tried Lowe’s but they said they don’t do drilling services and I now Home Depot doesn’t already. Please halp! Thanks!
Nevermind I found a local machine shop that did it for me. Turns out I’m ordering crap step bits. It wasn’t sharp enough. You can delete this thread mods or leave it up for others to learn from. Thanks.
Better to leave threads for people to learn from, mods don’t really delete threads here.
