Go back to two passes. Drill the first hole, *all the way through*, something like 0.015"-0.02" smaller than your finish size. Then do the second pass with the finish size - regular jobbers bit. Throw away the high helix. You'll get a more uniform result with less trouble than anything else you've ever tried. Ron N
