If you have the right drilling machine, you can easily drill hole in stainless steel sink. My husband recently drilled a small hole in the stainless steel sink so I know the entire procedure. You just need to have a proper high-speed steel drill. Here is what you need to do next to drill the hole.

How to Drill through Stainless Steel Sink?

Here are the steps on how to drill hole in stainless sink:

  • Prepare the Sink: Clean and mark the drilling spot with a permanent marker. Apply masking tape over the mark to prevent the drill from slipping.

  • Choose the Right Tools: Use a high-speed steel drill bit designed for metal but ensure the drill is set to a low speed.

  • Safety First: Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect from metal shards.

  • Start Drilling: Begin with a small pilot hole using a smaller bit. Apply steady pressure and keep the drill perpendicular to the sink surface.

  • Lubricate: Use cutting oil or light machine oil to reduce friction and heat, prolonging the life of your drill bit.

  • Enlarge the Hole: Gradually increase the bit size to your desired hole diameter, repeating the lubrication and drilling process until complete. Clean up any metal shavings afterwards.

This is how to drill a stainless steel sink. But let me also tell you that it is a tricky task; if you are not a pro, hire a professional.
