Key to drilling stainless is very low speed, too fast or using WD40
will just melt drill bits. imho

And gotta keep it cool. Do not get the SS hot or you will just bugger up your drill bits. Use cutting oil or paste too.

that is was I thinking, buy a high speed drill. then you must drill at high speed. Thanks for the advise cheers Alex
