Default Working Stainless Steel

Could I get some advice on working stainless steel and its properties?
I want to work sheet and plate to about 1/8 thickness and have found
this stuff very tough in the past. How would one drill and cut it
with good results in a homebuilders shop? What types of saw blades
and drills work best? I do not own a metal bandsaw yet but it is
probably going to happen. Can this stuff be cut with a hacksaw?

Also which stainless is good for fittings and such?
Thanks from Canada
Bob
