7/8ths drill bit?

[Kevin B.]

I have a 1/2" hole in my Hilift that wants to be a 7/8" hole ever so badly. Anybody have a 7/8" bit, and maybe a couple more between 1/2" and 7/8"?

HF step bit? I've been surprised what those cheapies can drill through, bet one would have no problem going through a high lift.

Step drill bit?

I've always bought them on sale, never paid no stinkin' $10 each for them. But I've used them a lot and would bet on them doing the trick:

More than welcome to borrow mine if you'd rather. Probably be easiest just to bring the Hi Lift with you and use my drill press.

Wow, HF has a bit that'll go up to 1 3/8ths for $20, I didn't know they got that big. Good idea guys, thanks!

eta - thanks for the offer Dave, but I expect I'd burn fifteen bucks in gas just getting to you and back. I'll grab one on my way home from work tomorrow.

10-4. Thought the same!

HF step bits changed my life

I get mine at Fastenal. Sorry, 3/4" is as big as I have right meow. But fastenal has bigger and odd sizes.

I have every size you could ever need... however they are in Tooele.

I tried to get you to move to Magna, but no...

Worked out well for me, now I dont have to loan you my tools...

High rollers are rude.

I think I have a 7/8.... what size is the bit you use to do high steer? I also have a decent step bit

die grinder always works, sometimes its better than tracking down a bit to use once.

Buy one of these sets. Really. They're actually decent.

This is actually what I ended up doing. I don't use that thing often enough and keep forgetting I have it.

That's a lot of very big bits for the price. Those would be $20-$25 each at Lowes.

Why couldnt you say 9/32"? I have about 50 of those coming in the next day or two only to realize I ordered the wrong size.
