    Default Drilling

    I just purchased an 8.8 cu ft Frigidaire chest freezer. I have a micromatic tower ket I had set up on an old fridge that broke. Anyway, I should be ok drilling a hole through the lid right? How do you go about drilling through the metal on the top of the lid? I have a masonry drill so power isn't an issue. Any tips from guys who have done this before?

    Thanks
    Greg

    A bi-metal hole saw ought to do it. Turn off the hammer drill mode on that masonry drill.

    You need a hole saw.
    Malt is the soul of beer... and yeast gives it life..
    but the kiss of the hop is the vitality of that life!

    I used a jig saw with a metal cutting blade. Just trace the inside of the tower on the lid and get to work.
