First post for me, but this is more of a warning than a request for information. Just got my QB fuselage in after completing the Empennage and started working on drilling the Main Landing Gear Attach Brackets and Wear Plates. I did not have a 7/16 drill bit in my box so I ran out and grabbed a Dewalt Titanium 7/16 Bit. The bit made it through 2 and a half plunges before it was entirely dull and unusable, leaving me with a half drilled Wear plate... Has anyone had similar luck with these drill bits, is there a better one out there. I have never purchased the Titanium ones as I always thought it was a marketing gimmick and maybe it was. Do I need to stock up on bits for drilling these steel pieces, if so which bits should I buy? Thanks in advance for the help (though this is my first post I have visited VAF daily for help and advice!)!
