Default Hole Cutting

In my experience it is always best to use some kind of lubricant on the bit. I have used 3-in-one oil, marvel air tool oil, after-run oil, just about any kind of lubricant that is handy. Sure, the proper cutting oil would be best but most of us non-machinist modelers don't even know what that is. Follow the previous advice about the slow drilling speeds.
