What drill bits do you recommend? Are cobalt or titanium necessary (what are the difference, and is there a preference)? |
Both can be worth it, and if you want to resharpen bits (No, drill doctor is no good) Cobalt (uncoated) would outdo coated plain HSS in the long run.
Consider carbide when you do pick up a drill press and small vise.
For PCB drilling you could set up a Proxxon in a drill press attachment, as long as the drill only moves up and down and not "sideways", carbide is hard to beat for many many many precise holes.
