Default Best drill bits available?
I'm after the daddy of drill bits for drilling steel.
Money no object as long as they aren't a 100 quid a throw.
So guys what are your recommendations?
Cheers Rich

Remember a Drill bit will only last if used properly.

Cobalts are good.

If you are just drilling steel, any decent HSS bit will be perfectly fine.
