I am at the tail end of my build, and both my bits are in good shape. I didn't use a motor tool to spin 'em though, just an old fashioned pin vise. (hand cramps while drilling the zinc!) If you are using a Dremel or some such, slow it waaaay down, and you should be ok. There isn't anything hard in the later stages, just aluminium and white metal.

BigGrin The hardest metal parts to drill I have found are the spark plugs the rest of the parts are quite soft in comparisonCool
