Got the front fork tacked together today. Started the drilling with 3/8" pilot holes and almost didn't make it through with a 1/2" bit - until I adjusted the speed and torque on my drill press. Had to do a bit of reaming and filing to get the axle holes right. Largest bit I have is 1/2" and the holes are 5/8". It went pretty smoothly but I ended up snapping the bit near the end of the process because I got a little too aggressive using my hammer drill. 61,68,49,0,B

Good drill bits that cut metal like butter are so very brittle. They don't make good reamers. I feel your pain.
