Hi all. I know this is discussed many times for the big boy machines you all have , but I am looking for some advice in making(drilling) a 1 1/4 inch hole in 5/8 inch steel plate on a Sieg x2D mini mill.
What would be best? Annular cutter or a boring bar set-up? I don't envision making many of that size and most of what I would do is 3/4 inch and smaller so regular drill bits work fine.
Any advice, preferences, opinions are much appreciated.
Thanks, Jeff.
