Decent drill bits and sharpening tools

[TWINSCREW]

Any good quality HSS twist bit will drill ss, as long as you drill slow & well lubed. drill a small ( say 3m/m first to remove the area the larger drill centre / tip takes ) then drill the size you require.

Good advice, also it is important not to dwell while drilling ie..keep pressure on the drill, if not, on stainless steel you will create a polished finish which is difficult to break through, the best lubricant I have found is called RTD compound (reamer-tap-drill) it has the adantage of smelling nice while you are working with it. always buy HSS drills with a high cobalt content. titanium is irrelevant as it will be gone as soon as you sharpen it.

170 bits, 10 of each small size, 5 of each large size... Now for about the price of a normal set of 30 or so. And you can still sharpen the larger ones by whatever method you choose.

It's just easier...
