Re: Types of Metal

Using hole patterns is what 1501 does best. We have found that the best way to make a hole pattern that lasts for half the build season is to have a nice piece of steel laser cut to make the hole patterns. The laser cutting hardens the metal around the hole, making it harder for the drill to distort (which leads to a lot of awkward holes).

They lasted us a while, and we drill thousands of holes a build season.
