i like the hss cobalt ones, keep a really good cutting edge although a good hss is good enough for ali and steel.

I borrowed a cordless rivetter from work - it really saved a hell of a lot of wrist ache ... and was totally quiet too.

If you buy a box of 20 reasonable quality drills for rivetting you will be safe - you will break and mangle a surprising amount while panelling your chassis.





Cheers,
Raz

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box
