Do have a shop around though as that was a random link, and also invest in some Dormer Supercut ...I use the spray version more and more as it seems more economical, but have not used a drill ''dry'' on any metal in memory, I drill a lot of tough steels / Inco alloys / hard grades of stainless so am used to taking it easy and keeping the drill cool...On occasion I get the odd wally on my pillar drill at work (I keep the good drills locked up) who is staring at a burnt drill and hot piece of stainless sheet because he was using 1000 rpm and no cutting fluid and has wrecked the job in seconds by being impatient.
Some of the specific spray oils for magnetic drills (Rotabroach types) are also very good for positinal work as the y don't run, I use JEI endurance which sprays like silver body shultz but is great for when you have to drill with air tools horizontally or overhead etc. as no drips!
