The Pol said:Sweet, it is marked... my new 4.5amp 4.5" angle grinder will get its first test... then to the step drilling. QUESTION, isnt the OD of a 1/2" MPT nipple about 5/8" or so? I am making my own weldless fitting for the ball valve and want to make sure I have the sizing correct. Thanks.

Use a fair amount of pressure, low RPMs, and plenty of cutting oil. Too much pressure will heat the metal and dull your bit. Too fast a cutting speed will heat and work harden the metal, making your job REALLY difficult.Dennys Fine Consumptibles said:Don't press to hard when drilling and make sure you oil the bit. SS doesn't cut well with to much pressure.
You don't have to if you know what you're doing. It's a good idea though. When I get hold of a keg, I'll be using a plasma cutter, just too much fun and way to efficient to even think about any other cutting method.Lil' Sparky said:Gotta wear gloves when using a grinder!
