   Annealing before drilling would greatly help your cause. Otherwise some cobalt drills ,low speeds and high feed pressure with cutting oil.

   good HSS drills initially then try carbide. Sharp and if you think its going to be a tough steel cut your revs down and once you start cutting keep a good weight on the feed. Don't let it rub and...
