    Default Drilling a tank mounting hole in a Amen Savior Frame

    Can anyone tell me what kind of drill bit would work best for drilling a tank mount hole in an Amen Savior Frame? I've tried Cobalt and Titanium bits, I can't get them to bite into the metal.

    You need to buy some new bits.... Nothing special about the metal.....

    ^^^Yup.
    Use a center punch, then an 1/8" drill bit, then increase your bit size until you get the hole you want. You can use a uni-bit as well, once you get a big enough hole. Like Tattoo said, make sure you are using sharp bits.

    Where you want it, round, straight & square - every time.
