How to drill a hardened file into a light one? A very simple method that will be useful to you in life. A little trick of using a tool for other purposes or not quite for its intended purpose. A short master class on drilling hardened steel.
Drilling a hardened file
So, we fix the file in the vice of the drilling machine. We insert a drill bit into the chuck for glass and tiles. Yes, yes, a drill used to drill glass or tiles.
Spray the drill and the drilling area generously with lubricant.
And we start drilling the hole. Everything is the same as with a regular drill and metal.
After a short drilling, we will raise the joint.
Spray with lubricant again and continue drilling.
The hole is drilled, but not all the way. Since the drill for glass has a cone-shaped solder, the drilled hole, if the drill does not go through completely, will also have a cone shape.
To make the hole even, you need to turn the file over and drill the hole from the back side.
In most cases, craftsmen take a special drill for such things and resharpen it, but I suggested a simpler method.

That's right, there is absolutely no need to drill it! This is just a clear example of how and with what you can drill hardened steel, carbide, and quick cutter.
