Can you pin the Eagle crank? I have heard that the Eagle cranks are so hard of a metal that alot of times the drill bit will not work. Just curious to how true this is. If it is true could a machine shop use something to pin the crank? Thanks for the help.

You can do it in the car, you just have to apply a lot of pressure. Using Tapfree lubricant will help to keep the drillbit from immediately dulling on you. Bob

I have done them in the car too, just have to use a good bit.

Solid cobalt drill bit, and it will drill as easy as any normal steel.


try it with a typical HSS bit, and you'll be trying forever.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the fast response. Bob, I will eventually be getting with you for a d1 or f1 just hanging out to see what this economy thing is doing. Had 70 guys laid off at work 3 weeks ago so I am being conservative at the moment.

A good bit is they key to this, the armor is super strong and will murder cheap bits.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Seeing 70 people get laid off would have me cautious as well. Bob
