Hello All,

I had the occassion to drill through some very hard fasteners.
Standard HSS bits were becoming dull in a very short timespan, so I
opted for cobalt bits to continue.

Armed with a set of Craftsman bits, I went back to work. Not much
difference. Altering speeds, using light oil, nothing really worked.
Ended up using a Dremel tool with a cut-off disc to remove the
fastener heads (which presents other problems).

What gives?

Regards,

Ernst
