I was using a 1" hole saw to drill through some studs adjoining the basement steel column in my 1970s tri-level home. I suppose I thought I wasn't anywhere close to being all the way through, but when I removed my bit, I realized that I had grazed the steel column in the center of my basement.
The drill did not go all the way through, although the center bit did go a bit deeper than the 1/16" that the hole saw portion did.
How bad did I screw things up by doing this? The column is in good condition with only minor surface rust on the lower portion. Will this compromise the structural integrity of my home?
