Who makes a good drill bit?

Also you might look into using pneumatic drill motors instead of electric. I makes a big difference.

Jp, my favorite motor are the older Sioux motors. Great variable speed triggers and very strong.[/QUOTE.

The power to weight ratio, multiple speed motors, feathering triggers, .0010 runout, on the Sioux drills are the way to go.

Like the little red skin drills Sioux has, except for the mushroom trigger, I personally like a paddle trigger. Ingersol Rand doesnt make my little 1/4 skin drills any more so if something happens to them I will have to get use to the Sioux's or learn how to make air drill vanes out of phenolic.
I drilled many a DC8 belly skin with them while at Dalfort.

Get Fastenal in and have a look at Tapcon screws. They are the strongest self drilling screw made. Used a lot in the building trades. If you get the right head your drill bit days are over.
Again low RPM.
