You can’t drill a hole in saw blade using normal drill machine because it was harden but this knife metal was very easy to drill & very easy to file
Pratik,
I doubt it is the drill machine that matters. Use a hard carbide tipped drill bit to drill the saw blade steel and it should work.

As for the hardening, cant it be done on a normal fire in a metal box? May take longer to reach the desired temperatures but it should work just fine right?

Thank for your suggestions will try it
