Drilling front X member
Ok, my bags are going in today. Im currently drilling the crap out of the front X member for the upper plates. Ive been using my drill + jack to get the dang holes done. BUT IT TAKES FOREVER. Granted it IS about 1/3" thick stuff im going through. Im using a Colbalt bit and all, any tips on how others did it?

I echo what ureckme said. Start with a smaller bit and step your way up. Use cutting fluid, too. It'll really help. (If you put too much pressure while drilling, you may damage the bits.) Good luck.
