[Land-speed] Drilling teeny holes...

[Benn]

I'm no machinist (hey, Rich, how about some help here?), but I would think you
want pretty high speed for small bits.  But I could be full of shit.
Definitely want the "right" lube, I'd think.  And this completes my
know-nothing dissertation on the subject.

  Other than very carefully, how does one go about drilling very small
  holes, holes on the order of 0.020 - 0.040 diameter? How do you chuck
  something that small? And I suspect that sharpening drills that small is
  not gonna happen. Can hardly see drill bits that small..

  I would be drilling in aluminum.
