Could you recommend a brand of lubricate, because i just
bought a step dril ( the guy in the shop didn't know what
it was until i explained, and he said ohh you mean a
christmas tree drill, true story :-)  ) And i am having
problems with little pieces of AL sticking to "the sharp
edge" of the drill, which leaves me with a mess in stead of
nice deburred holes.
