High speed steel can’t cut it

A customer called into the Metalworking Tech Team with this dilemma:

“I have a hardened steel bushing on an excavator in the field that I need to drill a small hole in. High speed steel can’t cut it.”

Any idea how hard the bushing is?

“Hard as hell!!”

What size hole do you need to drill?

“Ohhhh… something small.”

We introduced him to the M.A. Ford Hi-Roc drill line , explaining the benefits and features. Customer settled on 3/16”.
