Buy some solid carbide drills. They work just fine red hot.
Drill small holes and then work up - easier to work it that way.
It surprised me when the carbide end mill didn't cut, but then again, the
drill may have better edge geometry. Definately considering it, but a
quick anneal got me to where I needed to be. Thanks!
Now I'm not following you. If heating them to red heat didn't help, what do
you mean by a "quick anneal"?
