I spent the afternoon making heavy steel brackets 8 brackets 32 holes, actually 64 cause I did pilot holes, Had bought some highly rated Bosch cobalt  M 42 drill bits. I even used Tap Magic cutting oil and proper drill speeds. I am not impressed with the bits. gonna return them.

This was a mild steel, good USA steel but nothing really hard or super tough, I didn't wreak the bits, but hard drilling wrong chips and excessive force. Only got a few seconds of the proper coil chips the rest was small ground bits of metal not the nice clean coils you expect with new premium bits.  Is everything second rate these days?
