    Craftsman Gray & Red Toolboxes (long post)

    Nice find!! I have a similar set up, never knew it was uncommon. Mine was purchased in 1976 or 78, I can't remember right now.

    General drill and dfrilling question

    You can buy a drill bit called a Silver and Deming bit, which is chucked in 1/2 inch, but the drill size can be 3/4 inch. Can buy them at really good hardware stores, industrial suppliers, but if it needs to be a perfect hole, I agree with the rest. Get it in a press.

    Tips for drilling metal

    What everyone else said, also, I'm just going to throw it out there and I doubt it is the case, but are the bits that came with your extractors left hand? The nice snap on extractor set has left hand bits. Wouldn't be the first time I saw people running them in forward and not cutting at all...

    Cause it might have eight bucks worth of hacksaw blades tucked into the top rail and it appears the seller doesn't know they are there. Basically you are getting 10 free Starrett blades with the saw if they all have that like mine did. I wouldn't call it a standard saw, this is all metal, high...
