this dude is right slow speed and don't use cheap bits either of the "titamium coated" bits you get from harbor freight go and buy crapsman or your neighborhood snapon guy it will set you back some cash but they last a lot longer and sometimes your can exchange them
happy drilling

Re: Titanium Scrape Bars!!! Whos Got'em?
here's a link on drilling and tapping titanium
http://www.timet.com/fab-p18.htm
it says carbide drill bits are recommended for deep holes(is 3/4" deep? )but says high speed steel drill bits are suitable for many operations, and high speed steel taps are generally used....so apparently you don't need anything special
spiral point taps like this are cheap
1/4 20 = $1.49
1/4 28 = $2.39
spiral point/flute taps meant for Ti and capable of tapping 200 holes or more in Ti run ~$50!
