Hi, I have been getting into segmenting and using some soda can aluminum inserts. Thing is, every time I drill, with either bread point bits, or regular bits, the metal grabs and the glue gives way, and the blank comes apart. I'm drilling on the lathe, and I generally turn the speed down a bit for drilling, should I be spinning at a higher speed? Drilling up to the metal then punching through with something else then drilling out more, or...?
People seem to like these, but I'm hesitant to show them because of the difficulty and less than optimum turnout.
