Where can I go to use a drill press/Holesaw?

Hey guys
I need to do a one off drilling into steel
I need a 57mm holesaw and a drill press

Are there any places where you can visit to use them?
Obviously not worth it for me as a once off
I'm in the sunny coast

Cheers!

  • Your location would probably help

    Get a job at a steel joint, use theirs, then tell them the job is not for you.

      Already applied

  • Look in the yellow pages for a local welding & engineering firm. Take it to them an tell them what you need. They will do it for you and likely charge $20 or $30.

  • Ask your friends if they know of anyone who works in an engineering shop who is willing to do the job.

  • Local TAFE.

    • Would I a student at the TAFE to help or like go in their workshop on my own?

      • You'd have to talk to them and arrange something. To do it on your own you'd need to be a student (probably not worth signing up for a night class just for this). Maybe they'd do the job for a donation of some kind.

        Another option is a local mens shed. They generally have some sort of workshop.

    See if there is a "men's shed" operating in your area, they may have a press you could use.

  • A metal fabricators or a metal shop will often cut to size for cash.
    Poke your head in the roller door and say, mate I wonder if you could help me with a small cashy?
