I need a better set of drill bits. These harbor freight bits are as sharp as I am.

I’ve found that a good set of bits dedicated to metal drilling only was well worth the $50 I spent many years back.
Also, no drilling smaller holes then stepping up the size? That always seems to work better IMO, but then, I don’t do that much metal drilling.

+1 on stepbits or starting small.

You also can’t go balls out on the drill speed, you want to make chips, not smoke. Keep the bit lubricated with something as you go too. But yeah, cheap bits suck. I like the cobalt coated bits, they are pricier, but save the time when it counts.

My brother in law got some high quality bits because he was tired of digging through what ever his dad had laying around. They are a god send.

Speeds and feeds indeed. And then you run into a piece of stainless with a non-speedadjustable drill and want to shoot yourself in the foot.
