I am attempting to add an XB-100 Horizontal base onto an old Tormek T2000.
I read the instructions, but I'm really not sure how to drill the screws in through steel.
I can't find any videos showing the actual installation.
I tried using an 18V battery powered drill with oil and a 3/16" bradpoint bit, but it didn't seem to budge. I then tried putting it under my drill press at a 600-900 RPM and the same bit, and it's not able to get through there either.
They are called self threading screws, are we supposed to install them with no pilot holes? I'm pretty stuck here.
