I was over at the HomeDepot today, their step-up drill is $95, - I may have mentioned this before, but I saw it again today and it made me go over and ask the guy working in that section about those drills, and what I *could* use instead of that.
He showed me a very nice DeWalt brand drill for metal and wood, - cost $19.99 - he said because of the way the tip is made, it will drill a perfectly round hole, whereas cheaper drills that don't have this special point or whatever they call it, will make an oval instead, and kind of rip the metal instead of drilling it.
I told him what it was for ( to drill into the top of a BBQ cover )
and he said this drill should do the trick.
I am wondering if anyone out there in BBQ land has ever used a fized-sized drill to make the hole that will be for the thermometer, and if so
I would really appreciate your results.
I want a nice thermometer in my WSM, but buying a stepup drill I'm going to use one time at that price is out of the question for me.
anyway thanks in advance
