Drilling a hacksaw blade

ss · 2017-08-09T09:53:49+00:00

How easy would it be to drill through a hacksaw blade? Reason: I have a hand B&Q mitre saw the blades (350mm) are now unavailable. The nearest I can find are hacksaw blades, not ideal as saw is used for wood. However as I dont use it much it would do but I would need to re drill the positioning holes. I have emailed B&Q but dont expect an answer. I have electric drill and normal metal/wood drills.

This is DIY so you need to make a Spark Erosion Machine

Thanks all for contributions, I will probably go for cheap type hacksaw blade and see how I get on. Just thinking as I type a couple of years back I made some lock picks from a hacksaw blade and I ground them and filed them rather easily, must have been cheap blades.

Does not have to be extremely hard for lockpicks,Go to some car parts place and you will find metal strips that come from window wiper blades lying on the ground outside, these are good for lockpicks.
