i in the middle of a project for my company ,but having small problem
with drilling through 1/4 inch steel. my question is what is the best
type of drill bit to use for boring thru the side of a forklift?

And, ummm, why are you drilling through the side of a forklift? How
big a hole?

I assume you're using high speed steel now with no luck, so the next
step up is cobalt.

Also, make sure you're using a drill motor that's got enough speed and
torque for the job. Battery-powered drills are wonderful, but serious
work requires a cord.
