    Default Stainless steel

    Can I drill it and pierce it with regular jewellery tools or do I need special laser....thingies?

    I use different sawblades for steel - the same that are used for platinum - cookies 972 060P for a 2/0

    If you can help it dont use the same tools for steel as you use for your silver- little flakes of steel can get embedded into the surface of the tool and next time you use it on silver- big deep scratches! I speak from past experience!

    I find stainless steel really difficult to drill.
