Re: Best Type of Drill Bits from McMaster or Otherwise?

Screw machine (or "short length") bits are the way to go for most FRC applications. More rigid, don't wander off center, usually cheaper. Echoing the others: you want uncoated or bright finish for aluminum.

From McMaster:

Heat-Resistant Cobalt Steel Short-Length Drill Bits
Heat-Resistant Cobalt Steel Jobbers' Drill Bits
