Thanks guys, I will try to find some carbide drill bits. I know my local hardware store doesn't carry anything but the carbide masonry/hammerdrill drill bits. I have done a few searches and am bombarded by the same.
does this look like it would work in my drill press?
C1696 Solid Carbide Spiral Downcut Bit, 1/4" Shank, 1/4" Dia.
Also, does anyone utilize a drill doctor for sharpening of old bits and is it worth the money?
