INSIGHTS:

Use moderate speeds and steady feed rates to avoid overheating, especially in metals.

Apply cutting fluid / lubricant when drilling metal to reduce friction and wear.

Use peck drilling when drilling deeper holes to clear chips.

Whenever possible, use a drill press for alignment and to minimize side loads.

Store bits cleanly and dry to avoid rust or corrosion.
