Anyone got a 15mm drill bit. Need to drill out a pilot hole to allow a 15mm pipe fit through.

Naw Engineering shops would take a 14mm or greater and machine end to fit a 1/2"(12.7mm) chuck. Had one before but not anymore :'(. I have a 12mm bit :(.

For a bit more precision draw a circle around the outside of the pipe and then use your 12 mm drill bit. Alternatively see if you can get your hands on a step bit. Not a precise as a hole saw but more precise than winging it with a 12 mm dill bit.

Run the 12mm around in the hole till it's big enough. Isn't that they way big holes are supposed to be drilled! ;)
I am planning to do this but I was hoping that we have members who can say "Why no I don't work in IT"  :P

Either use a bi-metal hole saw or get a "Step Bit"

If you'd come to the last Tog day you woulod have seen a demo of using a step bit and hole saw to pop holes in SS and plastic

Just ask at McQuillans!!

And remember slow speed,  lots of pressure and loads of lubrication :-)
