Step drill bit

Post by CartoonCod » Sat Jan 18, 2014 11:15 am

Does anybody have a 7/8" step drill bit I could use for an hour or two to make one hole in my brew pot (in exchange for a sample of my latest pale ale)? I can't see myself needing this often so I'm having a hard time to convince myself to buy one. I would be able to return it the same day.

Don't have a 7/8", but do have the 3/4". I finished the hole carefully with a Dremel and grinding stone. If you don't find the 7/8", you are welcome to use the 3/4".

Yeah I did see that post. 20$ is still pricey for something that I will probably only use once, although I don't mind buying one if necessary. I plan on upgrading my kettle soon and it will have two welded ports.
