Holy Moley! Â What kind of drill bit does it take to drill the control stick/base assembly?? Â It's killing my bits -- I've had to re-sharpen more than 6 times, and I'm not completely thru even the first assembly!

Try some Boelube or cutting oil on the drill bit.

I used the standard carbide drills, starting with a #30 and working my way up...

Get some Boelube.  It make drilling the steel MUCH easier.  I got a small container of the paste and it has been used by myself and four other builders.  Still have a bunch left.I don't remember where I bought it, but it really does the trick.  Cool Tool also works well.  It is a product used by machinists. A little of either product goes a long way.  Use it on taps too.  Jim Combs40192N312F > Holy Moley! Â What kind of drill bit does it take to drill the control> stick/base assembly??

Remember too that low rpm works better on steel.

Thanks to all who chimed in. Â I had been using standard machine oil to lube the drilling process, which did not seem to help much. Â Where can the Boelube be purchased?Â Â Â I did realize the speed of my drill press was too high, and reducing it seemed to finally do the trick. Â Both sticks are now drilled, but it took much longer than I would have ever dreamed.

You can get Boelube from Spruce or Avery Tools. My  stocking contained a tube of the solid as well as a bottle of the liquid (from  AveryTools).

 Drill bits last a *lot* longer when this stuff is  applied. Also, use it on the fasterners threads when screwing them into  nutplates for the first time - makes it go much smoother.
