I am returning this item. This 30mm bit is useless for drilling mild steel. Even doing everything right. Too much cutting oil, correct size pilot hole, slow drilling speed, etc.: Useless. Wood: Yes Aluminum: I may have given it 2 stars just in case it can handle aluminum. In my opinion the bit may not be properly sharpened. , but I didn't buy a new bit and then pay someone to sharpen it professionally.
