Can you drill a hole through them?

I never tried but having been a machinist before retirement, I seriously doubt it. I think that the drill "chips" would prevent the drill from cutting into them. And they may be to hard. But taking a better look at them, they seem to be crimped together, maybe filled with some magnetizing element. What the heck, if I wanted to drill a hole in them and they were mine, I would give it a try. L.

I am not sure how you plan on hanging them, but as to whether you can drill into them, yes. I see no problem with drilling into them. I am not sure how hanging them would change how the pieces in the center hold together. I would say give it a try when this product goes on sale as I absolutely love them.

It can be done. But it would be a lot of work. You still have to drill the holes

No you don't have to drill hole, but I sold mine because they don't stay put, you can easyly fall over in them. I bought the ones you need to drill hole for, they stay in place. I hope this helps.

Yes, but I would not expect these to perform as well as the much higher priced high speed bits made for commercial applications. Even with the best bits available you may need to replace the bit (maybe more than once) to get a hole through even 1/8 inch steel, especially if you try to go fast or don't use cutting fluid. I assume you know to drill a pilot hole before drilling a large diameter hole.

I dont c a reason why you couldn't It depends how sharp your drill bit is. :-) it isnt super thick, it isnt a big safe. I woukd start with a thin bit than increase the size making bigger holes each time.

They can be hammered into soft woods... hardwoods; no way. Drill a small hole in hardwood.

It may be possible with a special drill bit. I have seen it done, but not specifically with this one.

Yes you can , I would make sure the drilling is absolutely straight as possible. Clean and smooth all edges.

My husband says yes it could be drilled through. He also said to get a good bit.

If you use hex ended drill bits you can. However, the driver turns slowly so it would only work for soft material with not a lot of depth needed. I only use it for started holes for screws.

The age slices are very small and thin, so I'm not sure whether they could take drilling. Light shows through about 3/4 of them, but the slices are not brilliant.

Yes you do but it's only through the plastic liners. There are even faint dimples in the plastic where you are to drill. Easy to do if you have a bright light handy.

Yes, they will drill through grout and cement. Be careful as if they hit the tile they could cause tile to crack.

If you get to mount them "in" a windshield, good luck. Sounds tricky to cut a hole in a windshield without causing damage.

No holes, but if you have a drill you can make some...that's what I did. Great box by the way.

You will need to drill the holes yourself. If you're pretty crafty, it shouldn't be a problem
