Thanks again.
lots of rigging parts on sail boat masts are drilled and clipped SS
you really do NOT want them coming apart

the bit has to be harder then the work part [SS bolt]
so no big box store china junk drill sets
cobalt or ti
keep the bit from over heating go slow and let it cool recoat with wax
re-sharpen often
expect to break or burn out bits so get a bunch
