Episode Details

Daniel bought a Bosch GSB 120-Li for furniture assembly and now wants to drill cable management holes through a melamine desk. Online forums say a 12V drill can't handle a 60mm hole saw, but that advice is more myth than physics. This episode breaks down exactly what's happening at the cutting edge—ten times more material contact than a standard bit, sustained torque limits of brushed motors, and the counterintuitive advantage of lower torque in brittle materials. We cover why adjustable hole saw kits are dangerous, what the Bosch accessory chain actually requires, and a five-step technique that makes 60mm holes achievable without stalling, chipping, or destroying your drill.
