Drilling Stainless Steel

If you want to save all your drill bits (on most metals) there is a waxy type of cutting lubricant you should be able to get from an industrial supply shop (ie; nuts , bolts, machine cutters) it will let you drill stainless like butter. Tip- Drill a pilot hole and then with the larger drill size drill from both sides to avoid a burr.
