Handy if you can stop the pilot hole just before it breaks thru. ... Fill the pilot with coolant and drill away.Drill press or hand drill.....depends. The lube isnt so much to lube the bit. ITs to keep it cool and keep the chips from galling and sticking to the bit.
IF using a drill press, your holes should take ~20 seconds to drill each. One good application at the start of each hole should be sufficient.
If using a hand or mag drill, maybe once every 20-30 seconds. Depending on the type of fluid. There is some that is thin and runs away. Others are thick like honey and stay on the part/bit longer.
