i am working with some new steel (80crv2) and am having a hard time drilling the holes in the tang. I always have a hard time with that though
I am using basic high speed steel bits and I annealed the steel before I started but the bits are getting dull fast and not cutting well. Any help would be much appreciated. What oils do you use? What kind of bits? Can I cool with a stream of water? I am very new to this whole thing and don't have a drill press or intend on getting one soon though I'm sure that would help.
Thanks

Thanks
