Couldn't get the zerk to take grease on the tilt ram of skidsteer so I took the zerk out and there was no hole to let grease into the groove of bushing. I took the pin out of the joint that holds the ram and the hole in the bushing was not aligned with the grease hole. So for a quick fix I decided to drill a new hole. Here's where the problem developed and after center tap to start the bit I drilled and drilled with no results and it dulled the bit. I center punched again fairly hard hit and even got a raised bump on the under side of the bushing Finally after using about ten bits and sharpening them I got about a 3/16" hole. My question is how can I center punch easily but couldn't drill easily?
ps some of the bits were brand new and dulled out at the same rate as my older resharpened bits. The new bits were gold colored.
