Also always coat the drill tip with oil, as heavy as available. Lidl drill sharpeners are a useful tool to have when drilling steel. A lot easier than sharpening 3mm bits on a wheel.

Slight overkill, perhaps - since the smallest hole it drills is 12mm. Also, you'd need a few strategically placed vertical beams to attach it to and react the drilling force.
