I'm putting pro wings on my Western 7.5 steel blade. Those of you that have done it-Whats the best way to cut the 11/8" hole for the pin to fit through. I don't have a torch handy to blow through it......
nope- you need a HSS (high speed steel) bit. Be sure & use LOTS of cutting oil or you'll dull the piss out of the blade teeth. I tried using a bigger drill bit & got no where- for me I use my handy cutting torch.
Use a Step Bit, looks like a cone, it won't catch and twist the drill like a regular bit will. If you use a torch, when you remove the wings the hole will look awful, and the heat burns the surrounding paint.
