Cobalt bits don't need to be lubed for this application. They won't start to cut until they get some heat in them. You regulate the heat by pulling it out to clear it and wait a few seconds before you continue. Trust me on this one.... I've drilled more holes in my life than any sane person should ever have to..... somewhere over 250K in 33 years!  |
You buy 8000 bits per year!?!?!
