Wonder if something like a Tungsten carbide drill bit would work drilling boron steel

There are special boron drill bits called "Boron Killer" ( I think they are German) as the drill bit needs to be harder than the steel. The other secret is to use coolant and a slow speed - 500/800 rpm for best results
