I need to drill some new bolt holes in 1" and 3/4" diameter SS tubing to add
a step to my swim platform ladder.

Will I need a special drill bit for this or will my ordinary metal cutting
drill bit work?

Thanks!

I found that my bits danced around as I tried to drill a hole in s/s.
For me...a drill press and cutting oil worked well, starting with very small
bits and working my way up until I had a big enough hole.

If you don't know the answer, you shouldn't be around a drill.
