The temperature required to austenitize 1095 is much hotter than can be safely held in the hand even with big gloves on. I doubt it was the heat from grinding.
Depending on the type of drill bits/alloys they could have work hardened just the hole. Good sharp cobalt or carbide is kind of where we all evolve to after years of trying various things on the cheap.
What kind of stainless? That it forges is interesting.
It's also possible that the two materials are different enough that your annealing ritual for 1095 isn't enough for the stainless slabs.“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power.” R.G.Ingersoll
