Just Kidding!

But I notice they break pretty easy.

Am I too heavy-handed, or is it just the quality of the bit? headscratch

I recently machined a 316 stainless steel attenuator that required 11,000 1/16” diameter thru holes and the best performer in that application was OSG at around 250 holes per drill or about 1 hour of run time which I thought reasonable.
