The screws are Grade 8 so quite hard to start with but a Dormer,Osbourne,etc drill idealy tin coated and ground flute.
The Makita although HSS was prob a Jobber Drill that are disposable and not the best for accurate work.
If you use 3mm you need min speed of 1100 RPM but main thing is to keep it cutting not rubbing. | If you have a second pair of hands fill a squeeze bottle with water and just dribble it on the cutting area. Should be coolant but water is better than nothing at all.
