I have tried to drill into post for colorbond side but nothing I try works
Hello!
What size drill bit? Is the one you're using new or used?
Cordless or corded drill?
The thickness of the metal would be 2 to 3 mm?
A sharp drill bit and maybe use a corded drill should make easy work of this. Possibly a drop or two of Suttontools Venom cutting fluid would also help.
I'm interested to find out exactly what's going wrong for you.
Cheers.

You might like to read through this similar and recent discussion on Drilling through steel/metal/colorbond by @lozandsam. Within the topic, we discuss a few tips on drilling through Colorbond. If the drill bit you are using is sharp, I would suggest starting by marking the drill location with a nail punch. Occasionally I have had a drill bit spin on top of sheet steel and not actually cut into it. Punching a start location is more likely to bring the drill bits cutting tips in contact with the material.
Please let us know if you need further help or had questions.
