I have a grenade just like that I started drilling in a drill press at about 1200 rpm I drilled on it for like 30 minutes used quite a bit of oil and did not make much progress I am using a brand new fastball high speed bit. Did to have trouble drilling it or am I doing something wrong

I'll be getting a few dummy grenades in the next felt days and will be trying to make an easily duplicated shifter. If I could make a few of these would any of you be interested in buying them? I'd make sure they work on the automatic shifter.
