okay, drilling into metal often kinda wrecks the drill bit after a short time and some times just doesn't work.. I think one of the problems I have atleast is not the correct drill bits.. IF they are gonna have a hard life, might as well get cheap so it's not such a problem when they brake.. but that isn't always a good thing..
For drilling metal (mostly we are talking about figures) but any one have good recommendations on drill bit types?
Well, I know Spade, masonry, and Tile drill bits out out.. Auger is also out.
HSS bits appear to be the best but can you get them small? often Drill bits don't get quite as small as would be best.. I mean, I think 1mm is a good small size, though I believe i have smaller) but often you can't get them that small or need to buy a set which you get 1 you want, and a bunch you don't for it.. not too bad but if it's not gonna last long, it's gonna add up..
also you then have some coating types.. Diamond can be Bonded or sintered, though some say maybe titanium nitride or something else is a better coating for drilling metal..
Any ideas for Decent Drill bits? or atleast, what type to look for as the best?
