Cutting oil too!! You’ll thank me later. Especially if you’re drilling multiple holes and those bits can get pretty expensive.

I’ve always used a normal steel drill bit and started with a 6mm hole, then gone through with a 9mm drill bit and then a 12. I’ve been wasting so much time and so many bits

everyone’s spot on with alpha! just make sure you use cutting fluid, we use a tub of trefolex and just dip the bits in each hole!
