Recommendations for a drill bit set for use with stainless steel

[Jason Ochoada]

Last week I posted a question about a table I am building out of wood and stainless steel tubing. Well, I need to drill through the stainless tubing which is about 1/8 inch thick. I marked my holes and started drilling and I barely made a dent in the material. I have not in the past purchased high quality drill bits and tend to abuse them. I figure that my bits are just dull but I wanted to check to see what the best type/brand of drill bit would be best.

Thanks

I recommend a Cobalt 135 degree split-point. They last longer...and don't walk as much. Pilot holes also help.

Thanks Glenn, I start looking for those.

Thanks,
