This is a little off-topic, but the statement "The only thing for drilling through metal are diamond or carbide bits" is incorrect. Twist drills are specifically made for drilling through metal. Would I use a 7/8" twist drill on a case? Probably not but if you sandwich and clamp the side between two pieces of wood it would work.
