CATHY'S TIP OF THE WEEK!

Lubricate often: Use a lubricant to keep your drill bits cool and sharp. Almost anything can be used: motor oil, soap, kerosene, oil of wintergreen, machne oil, and even saliva. Newer lubricants, such as BurLife last longer than traditional lubricants because they do not evaporate.
