Guys, I'm slowly making progress with the nutsert installs each evening. However, I've run into problems with my final (27/64th) drill bit wanting to snag and "buck" at the last minute, make ugly lacerations in the metal. I've been able to use a chisel and hammer to cure a few of the holes, but have ceased working further until I can figure this out.
I think the bit I got at Lowes (black carbide) is not the best bit for the job. Maybe it's my technique. I doubt it though, as my bits I've always used are working just fine as I walk up to this new bits hole size.
I've tried a HF high-power drill (not speed variable), as well as as Dewalt var. speed drill.
Anyone have any tips for hand drilling sheet metal?
