Right.  If you will be using a HSS bit, be prepared to SHARPEN it  every 
couple dozen holes.  If you can get some carbide "PCB Drill-bits"  with the 
industry-standard 1/8" shank, buy at least ten to start with, as you  WILL bust 'em 
very rapidly until you learn techniques to keep the board still  under the 
drill, proper feed-rate, RPM, etc.
