Title: Working with Steel Enclosures?
Post by: blearyeyes on October 17, 2014, 11:00:17 PM
I have some steel enclosures and was wondering if any of you guys have any tips about sanding, finishing, drilling etc. I've only used aluminum.

it's mostly the same but harder to drill. just be careful with the drill bits as they can get very hot when worked hard. some people use a drop or two of oil when drilling, you can get away without it but again just watch the heat.
