    drilling 304 stainless

    Right now, every thing is manual and done on a drill press which is completley exposed. I will be automating the drill and the entire system will be enclosed.

I would like to know the best style/hardness of drill bit and lubricants to use. Also there has been some debate in my machine shop about the angle...
