RE: Magnetized drill bit

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah it's always a good idea to use cutting oil when drilling. It really 
saves bits and makes a cleaner hole. I did discover that when 
drilling/tapping in stainless steel the best stuff to use is Lard. Yep, 
it sounds goofy but it really works well. It smells good too when you're 
drilling :-)
