late to join but - stainless is something I've done a lot of....
1) when drilling stainless, much pressure, slow speeds. You know how machinists tell you to relax your drilling to stop with the big spirals? get big spirals. Heat is your enemy because it dulls bits. Often the 'easy' way of drilling is much pressure push and pull the trigger simultaneously - do not use it like a chainsaw.
2) cut off wheels are your friend (as is plasma). Again, let the blade do the work
14 ga is heavy - why 14 ga?
