I have used light machine oils and YES minimal rake will be of help. In drilling the normal drill bit will want to load with the waste. Clean often and relube. Slow feed with the drill and I would flatten the lip relief angle.

Thanks to all of you, I feel confident I can tackle the job now.

Best regards Brian.
