Check out Norseman and KnKut.I too would love to get some recommendations on good bits.
Broke a couple tapping my slide for a dot, found one in a box of parts from machinist auction and it cut through it like butter.
...
Do I need hold an online class on taping next?

Maybe he's talking about twist drills.
Tap magic is a good cutting fluid for most things and it is safe on aluminum as it does not contain 1,1,1, trichloroethaneOnce you get your drills, get yourself some Tap Magic (cutting fluid). A drop or two will do ya.
Spelling nazi peeve... there is no such thing as "leanth".Ps...machinist peeve...there is no such thing as a drill bit, you don't want a bit of the drill do you? There are gun drills, jobber leanth, screw machine leanth, aircraft leanth, tre-pan, Carbide tipped, Indexable Carbide tipped, ECT. but no such thing as a drill bit!
