like 2024-T6 or 6061-T6 or 7075? IF the drill chips are long and stringy (they wrap into the flutes of the drill bit), it is because you have a soft grade of Al.

Oh my gosh! I'm going out right after church to buy some rubbing alcohol. That sounds wrong! hehe.
Very good advice! I'm so excited to get those 12 things done (actually 9 things now)
Ya, it said 6061 aluminum. It was making that really cool stringy stuff around the bit. It is awesome. I let one of our foster children play with some, and they cut their finger. That's how I discovered how those things are really sharp. But also really cool too.
