For welding, I used a tig welder set to DC (no fancy AC mode required) Although the peak welding current was set to 200Amps, using the foot control I used around 150amps during this process.

When it comes to drill bits, I used plain vanilla HSS drill bits. I avoided using Titanium nitride-coated drill bits as I feared the coating would probably not mix well during this process? I found the best size of drill bit to weld with was 4mm
