Personally, I would just melt a drill bit through it on the old drill press. It will get hotter than h***, but the metal will give way before the drill bit would. I only use the golden coloured drill bits (cobalt) ...gave up on regular high speed steel ones years ago. Seems like you spend more time sharpening them than using them.

Rob..
Is not the gold bits titanium..??
My titanium set is gold and my cobalt set is blue..
And my lobster claw hammer has shock proof handle,dual exhausts,a Crane roller cam ,a Roots blower, an Allison transmission,with a Dana diff....
