Can someone embedd the pictures please. Thanks

Decided to overhaul my garage gym and I'm starting with a homemade power rack/squat rack. Using 11 gauge 3X3 square tubing. Drilled 3/16 pilot holes then used a1" step drill bit from lenox. Started with a hand drill but the batteries weren't lasting long enough so I figured I'd use the makita...

I'm in Toronto Canada.

I was at home depot today looking for 1" diameter bolts but they only had 5/8". Is there an online store that sells them at a decent price?

I've just did a little searching and realized that a cobalt bit is the wrong bit to use for hot rolled steel. I found this one on amazon, is it any good? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0002438LM/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

The material I'm drilling into is 1/8" hot rolled steel. Is cobalt only for stainless steel? Thanks guys

Do you have a link to the one you used? I'm drilling 1" holes into 11 gauge steel.

I was wondering if someone could recommend a good cobalt step drill bit? Who makes the best one?

My mistake guys, I got the thickness messed up, its 1/8"

For now I only need it for a squat rack that I'm building but eventually I'm gonna be making other pieces of equipment for my garage gym. My budget is around 300-500

I'm gonna be buying my first welder ever but I'm not sure which one to get. Need to weld 3/8" steel tubing. Any recommendations? What's the best bang for buck welder for welding 3/8"

Material is 11 gauge steel, 1" holes (lots of them). What is the difference with a Mag drill?

Is this a good deal? Canada dollars https://www.kijiji.ca/v-tool-other/city-of-toronto/clausing-multiple-speed-drill-press-with-15-throat/1187870976?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

I'm trying to avoid the China made ones to be honest. If I have to, I don't mind spending a little extra for a good drill press but don't want to over spend. Maybe I should asked what's the best bang for buck? I'm going to be cutting lots 1" holes in 11 gauge steel

Any suggestions on a quality, not to expensive drill press that has rpms around 300? Thanks
